The study was carried out using quota sampling technique. A semi containing 31 questions and an in used simultaneously to elicit information from church members. The research hypothesized that there was a significant relationship between the use of traditional medicine and the sex of respondents. Also there exists a significant relationship between the denomination of respondents and the use of traditional medicine. Since p-value was greater than 0.05, both hypotheses were accepted. However it was discovered that 65.3% would opt for divine healing/prayers when initially confronted with illness. | ||
