- Over the years, debate scholarship has interrogated the usefulness or relevance of political debates in the electoral process. While there is an avalanche of debate effect studies in established democracies such as America, scant attention has been paid to presidential debates in Nigeria. Based on the Rational Choice theory and the Uses and Gratifications theory, this study therefore investigated voters’ response to the 2019 presidential debate in Nigeria. The study adopted the survey research design and administered questionnaire on 460 voters in Ekiti State, Nigeria. The respondents were selected using the multi-stage sampling technique. Findings revealed that although the 2019 presidential debate had very little influence on voters’ voting decisions in the 2019 presidential election, a majority of the voters perceived the presidential debate as relevant to the electoral process as it increased their knowledge of political issues as well as their knowledge of the candidates. Moreover, political affiliation was found to be the most significant factor that influenced voters’ choice of candidate. The study therefore recommended that political campaign managers and politicians should leverage the debate platform to promote their candidates but should not assume this would significantly influence voting decisions 2 results 2

- This paper attempted an examination of the importance of choice in educational theory and practice. Using the philosophical method, the paper critically analysed the concept of choice in the existentialist philosophy with particular reference to the practice of education as well as the shortcomings of the school of thought. The paper established that a System of education based on the existentialist concept of choice will make learners realise that their choices make them creators of their own world; they will be able to engage in prior deliberations to make meaningful decisions, it will encourage the spirit of self-reliance through personal involvement in practices, and develop ability to apply critical thinking. It was suggested that in order to achieve liberal education, critical pedagogy should be employed by teachers as well as other agents of education to ensure that learners make informed and valuable choices in life 2 results 2

- Administration of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine in early adolescence is effective in preventing cervical cancer, a common cancer in sub-Saharan Africa. Nigeria is in the pre-introduction era of the HPV vaccine. Understanding the preferences of the population for the vaccine can help design the HPV immunization program to ensure high uptake of the vaccine. This study explored the preferences for the HPV vaccine among stakeholders in selected communities in Ibadan, Nigeria. A discrete choice experiment survey based on six attributes of the HPV vaccine (which were the number of doses, the efficacy of the vaccine, cost of the vaccine, location of the service point, other benefits of the vaccine apart from prevention of cervical cancer and the odds of a side effect from the vaccine) was carried out in five communities. Data were analyzed using conditional and mixed logit models. Seven hundred community members were recruited, 144 (20.7%) were adolescents and 248 (35.4%) were males. In line with expectations, respondents preferred vaccines with higher efficacy, less severe side effects and lower costs. Preference heterogeneity was identified for adolescents that were less price-sensitive and other community members who were less likely to prefer using schools as the service point. The high socio-economic class preferred a vaccine that also prevents genital warts. There were variabilities in the preferences for the attributes of the HPV vaccine in the study communities. These variabilities need to be considered in the introduction of the HPV vaccine to ensure high uptake of the vaccine. 1 results 1

- Background & aim: Population control has remained an issue of concern to many developing nations. Many women have unmet needs for contraception. Despite the available options for abortion, unwanted pregnancies account for a high maternal mortality rate. Regarding this, the present study aimed to investigate the choices, satisfaction, and compliance with contraceptive use among the women living in Ibadan, Nigeria. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 290 women attending the pediatric welfare clinics in four hospitals in 2015. The study population was selected through purposive sampling technique. The data were collected using a self- administered questionnaire. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Chi-square test through SPPS, version 16. Results: According to the results, 95% of the participants were aware of the contraceptive methods, and 72.1% of them had used these methods. Partner's refusal was the major reason for non-use of contraceptives. The birth control methods, which were commonly utilized, were natural family planning (36.5%) and oral contraceptives (30.8%). Furthermore, up to 60% of the subjects were satisfied with the method they used, and 70% of them adhered to the chosen methods. Additionally, compliance with contraceptive methods had a significant association with partners' approval (P=0.038) and satisfaction with contraceptive methods (P=0.04). Conclusion: As the findings of the present study revealed, partners' approval of contraceptives had a significant role in the use of the birth control methods. Furthermore, some women were not satisfied with the methods they used. Regarding the findings of the study, the partners should be involved and well informed about contraceptives in order to enhance their use of contraceptives. Moreover, the women should be provided with appropriate information to be able to make an informed decision for choosing the suitable contraceptive methods. 1 results 1
- Background: Maternal mortality has been an issue of concern in developing countries of which Nigeria is one. These deaths are preventable if the health facilities are utilized, births are attended by skilled health providers and complications attended to promptly. Statistics have shown that, though over fifty percent of women attend ANC but less than forty percent are delivered by a skilled birth attendant. Objective or Aims: This study ascertains the factors influencing the choice of health care provider by women during childbirth in Ibadan, Oyo state Nigeria. Methodology: A descriptive design was used to elicit information from mothers attending postnatal and immunization clinics of selected hospitals. All the women attending the clinics were selected. Self-administered questionnaire was used to obtain information and the data collected were analyzed using percentage, frequency and chi square test. Results: The results of the study revealed that 76.9% of the women identified midwives as the most skilled for delivery but only 43.6% are being delivered by midwives. Over, 60% had poor perception and negative attitude towards the midwives. Some of the factors identified to influence delivery from a TBA are ignorance, lack of alternative, accessibility, lesser time consumption and availability. Income of women and satisfaction with services provided does not have significant association with the choice of health care provider (p= 0.180) but age was significantly associated with choice of Provider (p=0.017). Conclusions: Community based awareness, education and counselling, alongside improving midwives’ interpersonal skill with effective collaboration, monitoring and supervision of both TBAs and midwives will enhance good choices. 1 results 1
- Background: There is increasing interest in the choice of health care providing facility in Nigeria. Objectives: This study aimed to assess the factors influencing choice and satisfaction with health service providers among local government staff. Methods: A cross sectional survey of all 312 workers in a Local Government Secretariat in South West Nigeria was done. Chi Square and logistic regression analysis was done. Results: The mean age was 38.6 ± 7.5 years, 55% were females and 71.7% had tertiary education. The median monthly family income of the respondents was N 28, 000 (N3,000 – N500,000), with 24.4% earning a monthly income of N21, 000 to N30, 000. Many (72.3%) utilized public health facilities attributing the choice to the low cost of services. Respondents who are satisfied with their usual care providing facilities are 12.2 times more likely to have used public facilities than private facilities (95%, CI 3.431 – 43.114). Respondents who described the quality with ease of getting care/short waiting times as being good are 3.9 times more likely to have private facilities as their chosen health care providing facility (95%, CI 1.755 – 8.742). Cost/payment for service is 2.9 times more likely to predict the use of public health facility as the usual health care provider. Conclusion: Private facilities though costlier do not appear to be providing better services than public facilities. To increase access to health care the cost of services and the waiting time are important factors to address. 1 results 1
