This article, published in BMJ Open in January 2023, details a study on people’s willingness to use COVID-19 self-testing in Nigeria.
Nigeria has been badly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, and poor testing coverage in the country may make controlling the spread more difficult.
This original research is a cross-sectional survey to assess the general public’s acceptability of SARS-CoV-2 self-testing as an approach to help address this challenge.
It concluded that most Nigerians agree with the concept of self-testing and would act to protect public health if they self-tested positive.
