Effectiveness of sensitization methods in delivering health evidence-based information to people living in a sub-Saharan African area

The apparatus used to socialize plays a significant role in secondary socialization´s internalization or intended outcomes of secondary socialization. The apparatus of socialization comprises the content ( knowledge ), the delivery channel and the delivers. It contributes to legitimizing the new knowledge and guiding individuals' health decisions. The COVID-19 pandemic, coupled with an infodemic", Soil-transmitted helminth infections, millennium endemic diseases and diet and their long-term consequences on health, are contexts to test our hypothesis. The secondary socialization, in our case, uses various types of sensitization: 1) with shortened and targeted messages delivered once, 2) sensitization as a lived experience, such as the administration of a diet followed by repeated messages, and 3) sensitization as participating action modifying or inciting to modify behaviours as apparatus. We hypothesize that our apparatus will legitimise the scientific knowledge delivered in people who have been primarily well-socialized ( aware of the role of evidence-based decisions in public health). The study will assess the subjective and objective compliance to physical and social distancing measures against COVID-19 during the epidemic, subjective and objective adherence to promoting a healthy diet, and subjective and objective adherence to reducing transcutaneous transmission of parasites."
