Abstract
Declaration of Nigeria a polio free nation early 21st century would require a proper understanding and cooperation of all her citizens especially the women. This study was therefore carried out to assess the knowledge about polio among women in Jos. A cross-sectional study involving administration of questionnaires to 2,431 women scattered across six different parts of the city was carried out between February and April 2006. Information on questionnaire such as- age, educational level, marital status, and modes of transmission and control of polio were obtained. Results were analysed using Epi Info 2002 version statistical software and P values Keywords : Poliomyelitis, Knowledge, Women, Eradication. Nigerian Medical Practitioner Vol. 54 (2) 2008: pp. 39-44
要在21世纪初宣布尼日利亚为无脊髓灰质炎国家，就需要所有公民特别是妇女的适当理解和合作。因此，进行这项研究是为了评估乔斯妇女对小儿麻痹症的了解情况。2006年2月至4月期间，一项横断面研究对分布在该市六个不同地区的2431名妇女进行了问卷调查。调查问卷的资料包括年龄、受教育程度、婚姻状况、小儿麻痹症的传播和控制方式等。结果采用Epi Info 2002版统计软件和P值进行分析。关键词:脊髓灰质炎，知识，妇女，根除。《尼日利亚医生》Vol. 54(2) 2008:第39-44页
