1. Background of Project
Seeing is Believing (SiB) seeks to improve access to comprehensive eye health services for children.
The project addressed the avoidable, preventable and treatable causes of blindness and visual
impairment among children aged 0-14 in selected states of Nigeria. Equal access to both male and
female, as well as people with other disability was also be ensured on the project.
The components of the project include; Promotion, Prevention, Medical and
Rehabilitation/Education.
SiB was implemented in 11 States, across 4 geopolitical zones in the country, with each zone referred
to as a cluster– Cluster 1 (South-West- Oyo, Osun, Ogun); Cluster 2 (North-Central- FCT, Nasarawa,
Plateau); Cluster 3 (North-West- Kano, Katsina and Jigawa); and Cluster 4 (South-South- Cross
Rivers and Akwa-Ibom).
The key areas of activities for the project include:
2. Aims and Objectives
The primary aim of this endline KAP study is to examine the knowledge, attitude and practice of
community members and health care providers towards child eye health (CEH) after the SiB
implementation.
Specific objectives includes;
Timeline:
The survey will be conducted over a period of eight (8) weeks. The first week will be used for desk
review and development of the survey protocol, tools and instrument. Training of research/data
collection team and pre-testing of survey tools will be conducted in the second week. Field data
collection will be done in 5 sampled states. Data analysis and report writing will hold in week five and
six.
Location:
The study will be undertaken in 5 sampled states divided into 4 clusters based on the programme
implementation structure and will be repeated in the exact communities where the baseline KAP
study was conducted.
Target Population/Stakeholders
Study Participants:
Community Members: household members, care givers, community leaders, group leaders, religious
leaders, TBAs.
Clinical Group: CHEWs, Nurses, Health facility leads/Managers and policy makers
3. Evaluation Objective, Scope and Intended use
In order to achieve the study objectives as above, the study team will follow the steps as outlined
below:
4. Development of the Research Protocol
A research protocol will be developed to provide the road map for the conduct of the KAP study. The
protocol will also be used to obtain an ethical approval from the National research and ethical
committee.
1. Desk Review: A literature search of relevant materials, documents, journal articles, and global
best practices will be undertaken by the research team under the leadership of the PI with support
and guidance from the PD. The results will be used as a broad guidance, which could be adapted
in the context of this study.
2. Develop Data Collection Tools: Data collection tools will be will be adapted from the baseline
tools to collect quantitative and qualitative data for key study questions.
3. Training for local enumerators and Finalization of Tools: A two-day training will be
organized for local enumerators and a one-day field testing of tools. After testing, the data
collection tools will be finalized and sampling will be reviewed and adjusted (if necessary) to
ensure appropriateness to local contexts.
Data Collection and Analysis:
Experienced local enumerators will be responsible for data collection on the field. Household survey will be conducted using structured questionnaires for household members. Health facility staff (CHEWs and Nurses) and non-facility care providers
(TBAs) will also receive a structured questionnaire, to explore their opinions and experiences.
Focus Group Discussions (FGD) will be held among different groups within the community, including women groups and religious groups; to allow dynamic group interaction and exchange of perspectives among peers. In-depths Interviews (IDI) will be held with key informants including key opinion leaders in the communities, community gate-keepers, group leaders,
religious leaders and health facility manager/lead. Qualitative data will be transcribed for analysis. Transcripts will be analyzed, while quantitative data generated from the study will be analyzed using descriptive and bivariate analyses.
5. Report Writing: Final report writing will be done by the Principal Investigator and submitted to
the Programme Director for review and for final approval by the Project Steering Committee.
5. Evaluation Questions
Methodology
This a mix method approach that will involve the use of both quantitative and qualitative methods. As
differing groups in the community will likely to have differing levels of KAP, hence, communities will
be divided into two groups- (i) the general community members, i.e. community leaders (religious and
traditional leaders, as well as influential individuals, (ii) the clinical community, i.e. the health care
workers and policy makers. However, the same method of data collection will be used for the two
groups, to ensure that differences in the result are independent of the sampling method and depend
solely on the characteristics of the population.
Sample Selection: This will involve multi-stage sampling design. At the first stage,
communities (Primary Sampling Units (PSU)) within the states will be purposely selected. At the
second stage, respondents among health workers within supported health facilities; and
community members and households will be randomly selected (consultant can suggest method
of selection that will be representative).
Sample Size: To select the minimum sample and spread the sample widely, it is proposed to
select 1 state in each of the clusters and FCT. Then 3 communities will be selected in each state to
represent the three senatorial zones; which will bring the total to 5 states and 15 communities for
the entire study. For the qualitative and quantitative data, it is proposed that;
Household surveys: n=225 (45 per state)
IDI: n=30 (6 per state)
FGD: n=30 (6 per state)
Limitations
Limited sample size
