A low community acceptance and compliance with annual ivermectin treatment was recorded in Patigi, Nigeria where ivermectin is being distributed centrally in designated centres for the fifth time. The average community acceptance rate (ACAR) for the treatment period was 53.48% while the community compliance rate (CCR) of 1.9% of the total subjects interviewed was recorded. Absenteeism from treatment was a major reason for non-treatment (average, 34.6%). Inadequate and poor mobilisation was identified as a major reason for the low ivermectin acceptance and compliance with treatment in this community. An intensive mobilisation with health education messages with the inclusion of religious/traditional institutions is advocated.
在尼日利亚的帕蒂吉，伊维菌素已在指定中心进行了五次集中分发，但该地区社区对年度伊维菌素治疗的接受度和依从性较低。治疗期间的平均社区接受率（ACAR）为53.48%，而在接受采访的所有受试者中，社区依从率（CCR）为1.9%。未接受治疗的主要原因是缺勤（平均为34.6%）。在这个社区，动员不足和不力被认为是伊维菌素接受度低和治疗依从性差的主要原因。建议通过健康教育信息进行强化动员，并纳入宗教/传统机构。
