Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Advertising campaigns for disease prevention have become a vital tool in public health initiatives, particularly in rural and underserved regions. In Katagum LGA, Bauchi State, such campaigns have been employed to raise awareness about various diseases, promote healthy behaviors, and encourage preventive measures. The use of mass media, such as radio, television, and social media, along with community-based outreach, aims to disseminate vital health information to local populations. According to a study by Olowu et al.

This study explores the effectiveness of these campaigns in Katagum LGA, with a focus on how they influence the community’s health behavior, disease awareness, and prevention practices.
