Challenges in Conducting Population-based Seroepidemiology Survey of Covid-19 in Lagos State, Nigeria

Article scientifique 2022 Anglais

Résumé

Abstract Population-based study is known to be a very essential type of study during and after a pandemic or epidemics, as it provides important information on the incidence, prevalence and risk factors of the disease in question. There has been limited information about challenges faced in conducting such surveys in Nigeria. In this paper, we would share our experience, and describe the challenges faced in conducting population-based seroepidemiological study of COVID – 19 in Lagos, Nigeria. Some challenges were peculiar to specific Local Government Areas (LGAs) while others were general. The challenges include general misconception of community members about health research, difficulties in mapping houses, planning for data collection, standardising data collection, working in hard-to-reach community when resources were limited as well as difficulty in collection of blood, oral and naso-oropharyngeal swabs. Ways of overcoming these problems, lessons learnt, and recommendations are hereby discussed.
