Methodological Evaluation of Public Health Surveillance Systems in Nigeria: Quasi-Experimental Design for Adoption Assessment

Public health surveillance systems are crucial for monitoring infectious diseases in Nigeria, but their effectiveness varies. A mixed-methods approach combining quantitative surveys with qualitative interviews to assess system implementation and user satisfaction. Adoption rates varied significantly across different regions, ranging from 40% in rural areas to 65% in urban centers. The quasi-experimental design revealed significant disparities in system adoption rates among Nigerian regions. Targeted training programmes and incentives are recommended for enhancing surveillance system effectiveness in underserved areas.
