dc.description.abstractNigeria accounts for one quarter of all the malaria cases in Africa. Though preventable, malaria remains one of the major public health problems in Nigeria. This study was undertaken to find out audience perception of the Roll Back Malaria campaign in Kaduna Metropolis and its implications for malaria elimination among pregnant women and children. This is by determining the variations in levels of source confidence among the vulnerable group and finding out how the campaign has been useful in their attitude towards malaria prevention. One hundred and eighty copies of the questionnaire were administered to the vulnerable group (pregnant women and nursing mothers), purposively drawn from eight primary health centres within Kaduna metropolis selected based on their high client flow for maternity cases. The study discovers that the campaign has changed the views and perceptions of a clear majority of the people (97%) about the use of mosquito nets and other beliefs regarding malaria. In this regard, the study recommends that the government should, as a matter of routine, monitor the use of mosquito nets through community health educators, ward focal persons, and take adequate steps to improve on the campaign in areas where low success is recorded
