Abstract
The study
investigated rate of mectizan drug and the influences on acceptance. In the
face of the debilitating complications of Onchocerciasis, which render its
victims physically, psychologically, socially and economically disabled, the
researchers deemed it fit to carry out the study. The researchers used two
local government areas. One was declared a hyperendemic area by the National
Orchocerciasis control programme (Isuikwuato L.G.A) while the other L.G.A is an
endemic area. A 30-item Questionnaire validated with reliability co-efficient
of 0.83 was used. Also interview and review of existing records were used
to elicit information for the study, t. Data were analysed using the t-test.
Conclusion was drawn from the findings. The result showed that there was
significant difference in the acceptance of mectizan drug due to degree of
eizdemicity, gender, level ofeducation, positively and negatively mobilized the
acceptance rate too. The recommendation among others include the mounting of
counselling programmes through group counselling, mass media seminars,
workshops and conferences for people in endemic areas.
