- The study aims to estimate the prevalence and predictors of not following the gateway theory. Respondents were selected from a multistage stratified clustered sampling of households in five of Nigeria’s six geopolitical regions. Interviews were conducted between February 2002 and May 2003 using the CIDI-version.3 with a total sample size (N) of 2,143. Cumulative incidence proportions of not following a gateway pattern were estimated with SUDAAN. Predictors of this were estimated using multivariate logistic regression models. The deviation from the normative sequence of drug use occurs albeit infrequently. The public health implications of this are discussed as well as the limitations of the findings. 2 results 2

- Adoption of yield increasing technologies among farming households is one way of reducing poverty and food insecurity. In Nigeria, Root and Tuber Expansion Programme (RTEP) was implemented to develop improved technology of root and tuber crops. However, the impact of RTEP technology on poverty and food security has not been fully established. Therefore, the effect of RTEP technology on poverty and food security status of cassava-farming households in southwestern Nigeria was investigated. Ondo and Ogun states were randomly selected from the six states in southwestern Nigeria. Two RTEP participating and two Non-RTEP participating Local Government Areas (LGAs) were randomly chosen from each state. Three communities were randomly selected from each of the LGAs. In each RTEP community, 30 households were randomly selected (beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries) while 15 households were randomly selected from each Non-RTEP community making 540 respondents. Data were collected on age, gender, Household Size (HS), Land Area Cultivated (LAC), technology adoption, Credit Accessibility (CA), Educational Level (EL), Off-farm Activities Participation (OAP), Cassava Yield (CY), Distance to Input Market (DIM) and Household Consumption Expenditure (HCE) using structured questionnaire. The HCE was used to estimate Poverty Incidence (PI) and Food Insecurity Incidence (FII) while other variables were hypothesized to influence Adoption Level (AL) of RTEP technology. Data were analyzed using propensity score matching, descriptive statistics, Foster-Greer-Thorbecke and Tobit regression model at p = 0.05. There were 387 RTEP and Non-RTEP households with similar characteristics. Age (44.3 ± 10.1 years), HS (6.0 ± 2.0) and LAC (1.0 ± 0.4 hectares) of the beneficiaries were not significantly different from those of the non-beneficiaries. The AL of RTEP technology was 76.01%. Cassava yield of RTEP Beneficiaries (RTEPB) was 14.56 ± 1.27 tons/ha. Gender, OAP, CA and EL significantly increased AL by 13.8%, 15.8%, 4.7% and 17.6% respectively while DIM decreased AL by 1.8%. At poverty and food insecurity lines of ₦34,473.00 and ₦20,132.20 respectively per annum, 55.0% RTEPB were poor while 51.3% were food insecure. The RTEP technology adoption reduced PI of RTEPB by 11.2%. The PI of the male beneficiaries reduced by 12.6% compared with 5.6% for female. The PI of RTEPB with CA reduced by 11.8% compared with 5.2% for those without CA. The PI decreased by 14.1% for RTEPB with OAP while the reduction was 8.2% for those without off-farm activity. The FII decreased by 16.3% with male RTEPB having higher reduction of 17.8% compared with female of 8.0%. The FII of the beneficiaries with CA decreased by 20.9% while the reduction was 9.8% for those without CA. The decrease in FII was 17.45% for RTEPB with OAP compared to 9.4% for those not participating. Root and Tuber Expansion Programme technology alleviated both poverty and food insecurity status of beneficiaries especially among males, those with credit accessibility and off-farm activity participation in southwestern Nigeria. 1 results 1

- Anti-Retroviral (ARV) drugs are effective in reducing the incidence of death due to AIDS. The drugs are administered free of charge to People Living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) in designated clinics throughout Nigeria. Despite their availability compliance with ARV drug treatment remains a major challenge. The factors which influence compliance to ARV drugs among PLWHA in Nigeria have not been adequately studied. This research was therefore targeted at assessing the factors which affect compliance to ARV treatment among PLWHA at the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital Enugu. A total of 341 consenting respondents out of the 1,200 patients who attended the weekly HIV clinic over a period of one month were selected for the study. A validated questionnaire which included questions on demographic characteristics, health related information, compliance with ARV, social support, counseling services, side effects, perceived benefits and inhibiting factors to ARV medication was used for data collection. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Chi-square and logistic regression. Participants’ mean age was 36.8±9.8 years, 60.7% were females, 50.7% were married and 57.8% were traders/artisans. Respondents’ level of education was as follows: tertiary (31.1%), secondary (42.2%), primary (21.4%) and no formal education (5.3%). Many (48.4%) respondents’ had been on ARV treatment for 6 to 18 months preceding the study. Eighty three percent of the participants’ received counseling before they were placed on ARV drugs. An improvement in health was reported by 89.1% of those that took ARV drugs as prescribed. Seventy nine percent of the respondents fully complied with their ARV medication as prescribed. The reasons for failure to take the drugs as prescribed include traveling (19.1%), forgetfulness (17.3%) lack of access to food (7.9%). Forty percent of the respondents’ experienced side-effects after using the drugs; as a result of which 5.0% stopped using their drugs. The side-effects included: rashes (56.2%), diarrhea (30.7%), and abdominal pain (30.7%), vomiting (27.7%) and dizziness (24.8%). More males (82.0%) than females (77.3%) took their drugs as prescribed. Most (82.2%) of the married respondents took their drugs as prescribed compared to the singles (75.3%). Seventy nine point seven percent of the respondents within the age bracket 30 to 40 years complied with their ARV drug therapy whereas, 79.2% of those younger than 30 years and 78% of those older than 40 years took their ARV drugs as prescribed. Respondents who experienced improvements in their health status were more likely to comply with their treatment regimen than those who did not (OR= 15.2, 95% CI=1.6-140.1). The PLWHA who received social/ financial support were also more likely to comply with treatment regimen than those who did not receive social support (OR=1.8, 95% CI=1.1-3.1). Compliance to anti retroviral drugs was high among the respondents in spite of the attendant side effect. This positive health seeking behavior should be reinforced through effective health education strategy such as daily counseling and patient education. 1 results 1
