Awareness, knowledge, attitude, and practice of adverse drug reaction reporting among health workers in primary health centres participating in seasonal malaria chemoprevention campaign in Nigeria in 2022: a cross-sectional survey
The study indicated that HCWs across health facilities participating in SMC campaigns have ADR reporting knowledge and practice gaps. The study suggest training alone may not be effective in addressing gaps in ADR reporting. In addition to PV training, implementers can include continuous mentoring of health care workers or other similar interventions as part of strategy to improve ADR reporting. Also, context specific strategies to improve ADR reporting among health care worker needs to be implemented to address under-reporting of ADRs during SMC campaigns and other malaria public health interventions.
