Despite the role of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in many health issues, their role in community mental health services in parts of northern Nigeria is unknown. This study explored the availability and role of NGOs in community-mental health care services, with a view to identifying the prospects and challenges. Using the convergent mixed methods approach, a self-constructed questionnaire and in-depth interviews were used to collect data from 205 conveniently and purposively selected study participants. Descriptive and thematic analyses were done and then triangulated to meet research objectives. There is a scarcity of mental health-related NGOs in the study areas; only one NGO engaged in the mental health activities was identified (13.4%). Surprisingly attempts by the only available NGO at providing the needed community-based mental health care were “frustrated” by certain government policy directions, which appear to paralyse activities and intentions of the only existing one. NGOs for mental health care are lacking. There is a dire need for NGO activities in mental health care. Efforts should be made to attract NGOs to the study areas in view of the increasing burden of mental health issues in the communities in the setting. Governments at all levels, community-based organisations and traditional institutions can be instrumental to this. NGOs within and outside the study areas focusing on community health in general and mental health care, in particular, may also interrogate this situation further for urgent intervention.

Background/Objectives: Community-based mental health services (MHSs) should target 70% of the rural population, the end users of primary health-care (PHC) services. In this study, the views of the service users and providers were explored to determine the level of MHSs available at their PHC care centers in three selected states in northern part of Nigeria. Materials and Methods: Concurrent quantitative and qualitative data (using mixed-methods research) were collected from a sample of 249 participants through a survey questionnaire and focus group discussions. The sets of data were analyzed using SPSS 23.0 and thematic clustering; these were triangulated to determine the availability of the MHSs. Results: PHC service providers and users reported that PHC centers lacked any formal MHSs, and only a few personal efforts by service providers were mentioned. The service users could not attest to even these unofficial services. Conclusion: Primary MHSs remain conspicuously absent at community level in the study areas. Both service providers and users attest to the near-complete scarcity despite their willingness to provide and use the services, respectively, if and when formal arrangements can be made. Recommendations: Stakeholders' attention is once again drawn to a neglected component of the PHC to promote mental health and prevent community mental health problems characteristic of many communities.

Pregnant women, in the age range of 15-49, who constitute more than one-fifth of the world’s population, are repeatedly exposed to pregnancy and childbearing risk (1). Antenatal care (ANC) is a precise and systematic assessment and follow-up care including education, counseling, screening, and treatment that is provided for pregnant women to assure the best possible health of a mother and her fetus (2). Likewise, ANC refers to the prenatal health care which is provided for pregnant women and their children during pregnancy by the skilled health personnel. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommended that pregnant women are expected to visit the antenatal clinic 4-5 times before delivery for any medical problems; three antenatal visits are at least recommended, ideally with the first visit early in the pregnancy. This number may vary according to national and institutional policies (3). In Nigeria, four ANC visits are recommended for every pregnant woman before delivery (4). The primary objective of ANC visit is to establish contact with the women, to identify and manage current as well as potential risks and problems, and to improve maternal health which is one of the eightmillennium development goals (MDGs). Under MDG5, countries committed to reduce maternal mortality by three-quarters between 1990 and 2015. Since 1990, maternal deaths worldwide have dropped by 47% (4,5). Women’s knowledge and attitude regarding health and medical care must be investigated, during pregnancy and childbirth, to identify any suspicion or fear of medical interventions such as hospital delivery, caesarean section, or blood transfusion among women and to ascertain whether appropriate information, education, and communication (IEC) activities are required (6). Health knowledge is considered as one of the key factors in saving Abstract Objectives: Poor knowledge about importance of early antenatal care visit and awareness on health risk during pregnancy among pregnant women prevented them from accessing early antenatal care services. This study examined the impact of health education intervention (HEI) on access to antenatal care services by pregnant women in Edu Local Government Area (LGA), Nigeria. Materials and Methods: A quasi-experimental research employing pre-test and post-test control group design was adopted. A researchers-designed questionnaire was used for data collection and the split-half test of reliability was used to determine its reliability. One hundred and twenty pregnant women were exposed to 10 weeks of HEI after pre-test, 60 experimental groups were exposed to the lectures on antenatal care services, and 60 control groups were exposed to HIV/AIDS sessions, followed by post-test. The descriptive statistics was used to answer research questions, while the inferential statistics of t-test was used to test the hypothesis at 0.05 significance level. Results: This study showed upward shift from pre-intervention mean of 71.08 to 93.33 post intervention mean in the experimental groups which implied the positive impact of HEI on the knowledge and willingness of pregnant women to access antenatal care services in Edu LGA. Conclusions: It was concluded that HEI could have positive impact on the knowledge and willingness of pregnant women to access antenatal care services, hence HEI needs to be sustained to improve the pregnant women’s health-seeking behaviors about antenatal care services in Edu LGA.

BACKGROUND
Coma occurring in the course of an illness, irrespective of cause, traditionally implies a poor prognosis and many factors may determine its outcome. These factors must be identified and possibly stratified in their order of importance. This research seeks to identify these factors and how they influenced the outcome of non-traumatic coma in our environment.
METHODS
Two hundred consecutive patients, aged 18-79 years who met the inclusion criteria, the Glasgow coma scale (GCS) score of <8, history and physical findings suggestive of medical illness, no head trauma or sedation, were recruited into the study from August 2004 to March 2005 at the university College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan, after obtaining institutional ethical clearance and consent from patients' guardians. Detailed history of illness including the bio-data and time to present to the hospital and treatments given were noted. Thereafter, the clinical course of the patients was monitored daily for a maximum of 28 days during which the support of the family and/ or the hospital social welfare was evaluated.
RESULTS
During the 8-month period of the study, 76% (152) of the patients died while 24% (48) survived. The following factors were associated with high mortality rate: inability to confirm diagnosis (100%), poor family support (97.1%), delay in making a diagnosis within 24 h (85.4%), poor family understanding of disease (84.1%), need for intensive care admission and management (83.3%), poor hospital social welfare support (82.4%), presentation to UCH after 6 h of coma (76.7%), and referral from private health facilities (75.7%). Others include substance abuse (100%) and seropositivity to HIV (96%) and hepatitis B surface antigen (92%) antibodies, among others.
CONCLUSION
This study has demonstrated that socio-economic factors such as gender, occupation, risky lifestyle behaviors, late presentation or referral to hospital, late diagnosis and treatment, and poor family support contributed to poor outcome of nontraumatic coma. It is hoped that improvement, modification, or correction of these factors may improve coma outcome.
