Impact of Visual Multimedia as a Counselling Strategy for Reducing School Dropout Propensity among School Children Who Are Survivors of Abductions in Northern Nigeria

By Chinyere Christiana Ugwulor-Onyinyechi

This study was a quasi experiment involving 470 school children who were survivors of abduction in Northern Nigeria. There were two interventions: the first was a face-to-face counselling, while the second was a visual multimedia counselling intervention. The result of the study showed that at baseline, all the respondents reported high school dropout propensity. However, after the treatment, respondents in the visual multimedia group reported lower school dropout propensity when compared to their counterparts in the face-to-face counselling. The researchers made recommendations based on the results of the study. © The Author(s) 2021.
