Item Evidence based therapeutic outcome of multimodal therapy on sexual decisions of students in River State remedial study centres(2016-06) Ofole, N. M.Previous efforts at remediating sexual decision of adolescents in Nigeria have been based on unimodal therapies. Therefore, this study investigated the effectiveness of Multimodal Therapy (MMT) on sexual decisions of adolescents studying in Remedial Centres in Rivers state, Nigeria. Pre-test post control group quasi experimental design with 2x 2 factorial matrix was adopted to execute the study. One hundred and twenty-eight students consisting 71 males (55.4%) and 57 females (44.5%) with age range of 16-21 years (=13.2; SD=3.2) participated in the study. Simple random sampling technique was utilized to draw samples from Remedial Study Centers in River state. Adolescent Decision-Making Questionnaire (r=0.77) was the outcome measure. The experimental group was exposed to nine sessions of MMT (18 hrs) while the control group served as a comparison group. Analysis of Covariance and Multiple x classification analysis were used to test the three hypotheses. There was significant main effect of treatment (F (2,123) =10.871; P<0.05). Male participants had superior treatment gains when compared with the female. These results suggest that Multimodal therapy can be useful in enhancing sexual decision, however programmers should be gender sensitive when designing treatment package.Item School based sexual and reproductive health education: students’ preferred learning style in secondary schools in Benue State, Nigeria(2018) Ofole, N. M.; Amusan-Ikpa, S.High risk sexual behaviours reported among adolescents in Benue state despite a decade of implementing Sexual and Reproductive Health Education ((SBSRHE) underscores the urgent need to examine the students preferred learning style on the premise that when teachers adapt instructional methods to suit the learners style it enhances knowledge and attitude change. Survey method was adopted to examine students preferred style of learning sexuality education measured with Barsch‘s Learning Style Inventory (α=0.72). One thousand eight hundred and twenty-four students consisting 925 (50.1%) males and 899 (49.3%) females were randomly drawn from nine secondary schools implementing Family life HIV Education (FLHE) in Benue state. Result reveal that of the 1824 students 916 representing 50.2 % of the sample prefers kinesthetic learning style; 768 (42.1 %) preferred learning by visual, while only 140 (7.7%) preferred learning by auditory. Of the 925 males 62.4% preferred learning using kinesthetic style while only 7.1% like to use auditory learning style. 486 females (54.1%) out of 899 preferred learning sexuality education with visual style while only 74(8.2%) preferred learning by auditory. Students learning style also differs by school location (rural, urban and semi-urban). The researchers concluded that irrespective of gender and school location majority of students in Benue state secondary schools preferred to learn sexuality education using kinesthetic style. This finding underscores the need for teachers of FLHE to diversify their delivery methods to suit all types of learners.
