Appropriate strategies and policies that will contribute to better coverage may arise from reviewing current trends. Objectives: To determine the trend of contraceptive use among women attending family planning clinics in selected facilities in the southwestern part of Nigeria from 2007 to 2017. Methods: This is a retrospective study of women who accessed family planning services from the selected primary, secondary, and tertiary health care facilities in the southwestern part of Nigeria between 2007 and 2017. Information related to their age, parity, and method of contraceptives were obtained using a standardized proforma. Data were analyzed using SPSS Version 17.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA) statistical package. Results: During the 10-year review period, the majority of the clients that assessed family planning services at the selected secondary and tertiary healthcare institutions opted for IUCD, accounting for 51.5 % and 45.5 %, respectively, whereas, at the selected primary healthcare centers, progestin injectable was the most popular (51.3 %). Women within the age range of 30-39 years and those having two and three parity are more likely to use modern contraceptive methods in Nigeria. Conclusions: We observed apparent variations in the pattern of contraceptive use in primary, secondary, and tertiary health care facilities. Population settings rather than accessibility and availability of modern contraceptive methods appear to determine the choice and pattern of contraceptive use. There may be a need to devise strategies and policies to help meet specific contraceptive needs of clients in different population settings.","PeriodicalId":73683,"journal":{"name":"Journal of community medicine and public health reports","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41929857","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Tanzanians' adherence to control measures is affected by their knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) towards the disease. This study was carried out to investigate knowledge, attitudes and practices towards COVID-19 among residents in Tanzania during the April – May 2020 period of the epidemic. Methods This cross-sectional study analyzes responses of self-selected Tanzanians who responded to an invitation to complete an online questionnaire. Survey Monkey tool was used to develop the questionnaire used for data collection. The survey assessed demographic characteristics of participants as well as their knowledge, attitudes, and practices toward COVID-19. A Chi-square analysis was used to compare proportions. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to determine differences among age groups, whereas results were considered significant if the p-value was <0.05 Four hundred residents completed the survey. The mean age of study participants was 32 years, and the majority was female (n= 216,54.0%). There were no significant differences in demographic variables). Participants with a bachelor's degree or above (n= 241, had higher scores. Overall, 84.4% (n=338) of participants had good knowledge, which was significantly associated with education level (p=0.001). Nearly all participants (n=384, 96.0%) had confidence that COVID-19 will be eliminated. The majority of respondents (n=308, 77.0%) did not go to a crowded place in recent days. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that males, age-group 16-29 years, and education of secondary or lower (OR = 1.2, CI = 1.3 – 1.5) were significantly associated with lower knowledge score. Our findings revealed good knowledge, optimistic attitudes, and appropriate practices towards preventing COVID-19 infection. Suggesting that community-based health education programs about COVID-19 is helpful and necessary to control the disease.","PeriodicalId":73683,"journal":{"name":"Journal of community medicine and public health reports","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43907321","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, most research focused on understanding disparities in these outcomes has been conducted without consideration of gender or has focused exclusively on boys. Yet, prior research suggests that anger and aggression are less gender-typed in African American youth than they are among youth from other ethnic backgrounds. The purpose of this preliminary investigation was to examine the extent to which ethnic-specific gender schemas about anger mediated the relationship between ethnicity and girls' disruptive behavior. Participants were 66 middle school girls (24.1 % African American, 46.3 % European American; <i>M</i><sub>age</sub>= 12.06). They completed measures of ethnic-specific gender schemas about anger, reactive and instrumental aggression, and classroom disruptive behavior. Results indicated that relative to girls from other ethnic groups, African American girls had higher levels of reactive aggression and classroom disruptive behavior, both of which are rooted in anger. In contrast, no ethnic difference was found for instrumental aggression, which is not connected to anger. Ethnic-specific gender schemas about anger at least partially accounted for ethnic differences in reactive aggression and classroom disruptive behavior. Findings highlight the importance of examining gender schemas specific to ethnicity as factors in ethnic disparities in behavioral outcomes among adolescent girls.</p>","PeriodicalId":73683,"journal":{"name":"Journal of community medicine and public health reports","volume":"3 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10306265/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9742811","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
