Child Mental Health Services in Nigeria
Will guardians use psychiatric services for children in Nigeria if they were available and accessible? What might sway their decision? These questions lingered for Ezer and Professor Olayinka Omigbodun after Ezer’s return from the University of Ibadan in 2016. So with the support of the NIMH, Professor Omigbodun and her extraordinary team interviewed 442 guardians of children 5-19yo who lived within 10km from a child psychiatric outpatient clinic.
