Impact of Health Education on FGM Attitudes and Intentions in Ejigbo, Nigeria

350 women of reproductive age (18-49 years) participated in a quasi-experimental study from August to November 2025. The dataset includes quantitative survey data and qualitative focus group discussions, authored by Sunday Adeyemo and published on figshare in 2026. Baseline FGM prevalence was 68.9%, with key metrics tracked before and after a 4-week holistic health education intervention.

Use Cases

• Evaluating intervention effectiveness based on pre- and post-intervention metrics like knowledge of health consequences and intention to cut daughters.
• Analyzing barriers and facilitators to FGM eradication based on qualitative themes from focus group discussions.
• Modeling the relationship between demographic factors and changes in attitude or intention using the quantitative survey component.

Strengths

• Includes both quantitative (350 participants) and qualitative (4 focus groups) data components.
• Reports specific, statistically significant outcome measures (e.g., intention to cut daughters dropped from 62.7% to 18.4%).
• Data collection period (August-November 2025) and location (Ejigbo Local Government Area, Nigeria) are clearly specified.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count for the quantitative data is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset's 86.2 KB size suggests a limited scope, potentially containing only summary statistics or a subset of the raw data.
