Butcher Anthrax Awareness Survey in Urban Nigeria

Featuring survey responses from 380 butchers in urban Nigeria regarding their awareness and knowledge of anthrax. Data was collected using a pretested, semi-structured interviewer-administered questionnaire and analyzed with SPSS version 25. The study found that 78.9% of respondents were not aware of anthrax.

Use Cases

• Analyze the relationship between respondent awareness and reported knowledge of anthrax transmission through contaminated soil.
• Model the association between awareness of anthrax and the reported symptom of sudden animal death without illness.
• Investigate patterns in knowledge about carcass stiffness and dark un-clotted blood flow from orifices among respondents aware of anthrax.

Strengths

• Survey data from 380 respondents provides a specific sample size for analysis.
• Data collection used a pretested, semi-structured interviewer-administered questionnaire.
• The dataset includes descriptive analysis for all variables as reported in the study.

Limitations

• The dataset is very small at 18.9 KB, indicating limited scope and detail.
• The sample is specific to butchers in urban Nigeria, limiting generalizability to other populations or geographies.
• The specific columns and raw data structure are unknown, hindering direct analytical use.
