Summary of study participants
The 2 representatives of organisations interested in leprosy control
were purposively selected based on their contributions to leprosy
control within the region covered by their organisation. The agencies
and organizations whose staff were interviewed include Damien
Foundation, The Leprosy Mission Nigeria (TLMN), and TY Danjuma
Foundation.
Why 9 participants ? This study was designed to make exploratory
and qualitative submissions and no inferential analysis was intended.
Quantitative data were used to describe and support qualitative
responses and not to conclude, so representativeness was not considered.
One FGD with a male population and one with a female population was
thought to be appropriate since all persons lived in the same
environment. Participants who were selected to be part of the
quantitative were also part of the whole that was selected for the
qualitative were selected.
