Overview

Cross-sectional analysis reveals limited one health awareness in Nigerian undergraduates, suggesting educational improvements.

Key Points

  • Low awareness of one health was found among OAU undergraduates, with only 40% having heard of it and fewer providing correct definitions.
  • Data from 180 students indicated associations between knowledge levels and academic level and field of study, but not with gender or age.
  • The study utilized a semi-structured, self-administered questionnaire to collect data on socio-demographics and perceptions of one health.
  • Integration of one health into curricula and use of digital media are recommended to enhance understanding among Nigerian university students.
