Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Child mortality remains a pressing issue in many developing regions, including Nguru LGA, Yobe State. Public relations (PR) campaigns play a crucial role in addressing this issue by creating awareness, promoting health education, and advocating for policy interventions. PR campaigns leverage various communication tools such as community outreach, social media, and partnerships with health organizations to disseminate information about immunization, nutrition, and hygiene practices. According to recent studies, PR efforts tailored to the specific cultural and socioeconomic contexts of target populations can significantly reduce child mortality rates (Mustapha & Aliyu, 2024). These campaigns foster behavioral changes by engaging local leaders, healthcare providers, and families, thus contributing to improved child health outcomes.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Despite efforts by government and non-governmental organizations, child mortality rates in Nguru LGA remain high due to inadequate awareness, cultural barriers, and poor access to healthcare services. There is a need to examine the effectiveness of PR campaigns in addressing these challenges, identifying gaps, and providing solutions to enhance their impact on reducing child mortality.
