Research Assistant Facilitators / Interviewers at Malaria Consortium - 4 Openings

Posted on Fri 10th Jan, 2025 - hotnigerianjobs.com --- (0 comments)


Malaria Consortium, established in 2003, is one of the world’s leading non-profit organisations specialising in the prevention, control and treatment of malaria and other communicable diseases among vulnerable populations. Our mission is to save lives and improve health in Africa and Asia, through evidence-based programmes that combat targeted diseases and promote universal health coverage.

We are recruiting to fill the position below:

Job Title: Research Assistant Facilitator / Interviewer

Location: Osun
Employment Type: Temporary
Slot: 4

Project Background

  • Malaria remains a significant public health challenge in Sub-Saharan Africa, which bear the brunt of over 90% of the 250 million infections globally, and over half a million deaths each year. Insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) are a well-proven method to reduce the chances of malaria infection, accounting for 68% of the cases averted between 2000 and 2015. Thanks to massive national distribution campaigns in these countries access to ITNs in many regions is high. However, there is still a significant gap between access to and use of ITNs - even when people have them they don’t always use them.
  • This is a complex behavioural problem. Previous studies have highlighted barriers to mosquito net use such as concerns about chemicals, difficulties in hanging nets, and discomfort during use, and lack of relative risk perception from malaria. These barriers prevent full use of ITNs even when available. This requires a behaviourally informed approach to better understand and address these issues through targeted interventions.
  • This research activities which draws from insights from our earlier qualitative exploratory study addressing barriers and facilitators, and culminating in the development of a prototype intervention, will comprise focus groups with a diverse sample of the population in areas with access to mosquito nets. We will conduct purposive sampling on geographical, socioeconomic, behavioural, and demographic characteristics to ensure a breadth and diversity of study participants. The study will focus on Osun state in Nigeria.

Purpose of the Assignment

  • The purpose of this assignment is to conduct qualitative research to understand how participants feel and act towards a basic example of a behavioural intervention (low fidelity prototype) and then, after refining, test the more developed example to increase insecticide treated nets (ITNs) in selected areas of Osun state in Nigeria.

Scope of work

  • The qualitative work to be conducted under this service contract agreement involves the following components:
    • 5 to 6 focus group discussions with 6-8 participants per group, of a duration of around 90 minutes for the low fidelity prototype testing
    • 5 to 6 focus group discussions with 6-8 participants per group, of a duration of around 90 minutes for the high-fidelity prototype testing
  • The study will employ a purposive sampling strategy to maximise the range and diversity of the sample, ensuring that we have a diversity of participants across criteria which may influence mosquito net use.
  • Focus groups will be conducted in person (face-to-face) in groups of 6-8 participants and will take place in a communal space in participants’ communities. Topic guides have been designed drawing on results of initial exploratory research.
  • We will seek input from potential users and frontline workers through user testing focus groups which will explore participants’ actions, behaviour, and attitudes towards the prototypes.
  • User testing focus groups will support the study research aims by allowing participants to directly interact with the intervention and provide feedback to improve its acceptability and effectiveness.
  • We will conduct user testing of a low-fidelity prototype of the intervention through focus groups with potential end-users. Following initial focus groups, we will incorporate user feedback received to refine the intervention. We will develop a high-fidelity prototype of the refined intervention and conduct user testing focus groups to explore participants’ attitudes towards and interactions with the high-fidelity prototype. This will allow us to seek feedback and refine the intervention to increase its acceptability and likely effectiveness. Drawing on these findings and the behavioural science literature, we will then design a pilot intervention in collaboration with key stakeholders.
  • Focus groups will be led by a local researcher. A second research assistant will be present to take notes and record observations using a note-taking template developed by BIT. If participants consent to audio recording, the discussion will be recorded and transcribed.
  • All recordings will be transcribed and translated.
