Kisuibi, Uganda, 2015) Shehu R. A.; Oguntunji, I.O.; Abdulraheem, A. M.; Ologele I.; Jidda K.A.; Akorede S.N.This study investigated discrimination as correlate of job security among HIV/AIDS patients attending the antiretroviral clinic, State Hospital, Saki, Nigeria Discrimination remained one of the major hindrances to job security for HIV positive employees Descriptive research of cross sectional survey design was employed for this study: Sample size of 144 respondents was used. Data was collected using a close-ended questionnaire (reliability co-efficient = 0,79), Person Product Moment Correlation was used to test the null hypotheses set for the study at the 05 level of significance. The results revealed that employers significantly denied IIIV/AIDS positive persons job opportunities and remained hostile to them. However, workmates of HIV/AIDS positive people closely related with them. It is recommended that employers be encouraged to accommodate HIV positive applicants and employees who are still agile and physically able to work rather than deny all categories of HIV positive people job opportunities. Also, employers should be educated on the consequences of hostility to the psychological state of HIV /AIDS positive people and respect the HIV/AIDS Anti-Discrimination Act.Item Effect of Health-Education Intervention on Knowledge and Adherence to Covid-19 Protocols among Kwara State Secondary School Students.(Published by University of Botswana., 2023) Jidda, K. A.; Oyerinde, M. F.,; Baba, D. A.; Abdulraheem, A. M.; Ologele, I.This research examined whether or not secondary school pupils in Kwara State understood and followed COVID-19 recommendations after receiving a health education intervention. A quasi-experimental approach was taken for this study. Participants' entering behaviours or prior knowledge were assessed, and participants' knowledge gains following the intervention were measured using a non-randomized pre- and post test control group design. All high school senior students in Ilorin, Kwara State, were included in the study, but only 116 students from the Ilorin East and South LGAs were surveyed for the study. Students in senior secondary school from two distinct local governments were randomly selected using a multistage selection procedure. The results showed, for example, that students who were exposed to the COVID-19 protocol (treatment intervention) scored higher on the post-test regarding their knowledge of COVID-19 compared to those who were exposed to the personal hygiene protocol (placebo), who scored higher on the post-test regarding their knowledge of COVID-19 but scored lower on their adherence to the COVID-19 protocol. The study revealed that the health education intervention significantly improved students' knowledge of and compliance with COVID-19 protocols in Kwara State's secondary schools. Consequently, it has been proposed that professional associations spanning several fields collaborate to provide health education interventions aimed at fostering compliance with COVID-19 standards, with a particular focus on the male demographicItem Factors Influencing Food Choices among Undergraduates at the University of Ilorin, Nigeria(The University of Zimbabwe’s Human Resources Research Centre (HRRC), Faculty of Education, Harare, Zimbabwe., 2020) Ologele, I; Abdulraheem, A.
