Dear Peter,Thank You very much for the suggestion to formalize my internet consultations. As a matter of fact I have adopted all the theories you proposed for my research. I am discussing them with my supervisor in a week time. And I will be travelling to Nigeria in 3 weeks time. Once I am in Nigeria I will be on field within a week after my arrival. I will remain in touch with you as much as possible and I do hope I am not too much of a disturbance. I am not in contact with any network apart from this, except for an author who I requested for questionnaire after reading their work, not only did the author from the Netherlands provided me with the questionnaire but she also express interest in my works and we have been communicating though infrequently.

Dear Peter,Glad to have your long awaited in-put, Very interesting as usual. I just want to be sure I get you correctly. I really like and agree with all the suggestions, but do you mean I should make it ethnology(phase one) then either qualitative or quantitative (phase two)? second questions Sir, Do you think Health Belief Model can be applied in any stage of the study in view of what you have highlighted?Thanks and Best Regards Sir.

Dear Peter,Thank You so much Dr Peter for this wonderful help to me. I accept ALL the suggestions you made and i will start incooprating the suggestions as soon as possible.I wish to draw you attention and further ask your opinion to some issues raised by the audience during the presentation,1. it was suggested that even the first phase i should go directly into the community to recruit the participants rather than to limit my self to hospital.2. that i should consider expanding the scope from polio to include other vaccine preventable diseases like measles and whooping cough and diptheria pertussis. according to the observer, coverage for all these remain low, partly due to similar problem, so why single out polio.3. that the quantitative survey should aim at identifying those who immunise their children and those who did not and then conduct the qualitative inquiry exclusively among those who did not immunised their children4. as you rightly observed i am ask to see to the inclussion of the vaccine providers which you wonderfully listed for me in your last mail.so i will be glad if you can review these opinions.concerning sponsorship, i thank you for the links, i will explore as soon as possible. but i wish to inform you that at the moment as a staff of my state ministry of health i have a monthly salary of 1000USD, and with my modest life i feel i can take care of my study if it comes to that. i am not pessimistic but i have hardly gets it easy so i am ready to forge ahead dispite all odds.i really cannot have enough words to thank you for the effortsyusuf misau..

Dear Peter,You ve definitely make general points to me Peter, or to sum it up, You have rescued me from a captivity of the prison of thoughts. i am extermely grateful for your generous lecture on this page. though i am excited right now with the level of in-put you have made, i will like to say i am quite comfortable with the first topic you suggested: Polio eradication in nigeria, investigating possibilities of happier future. i am also happy with the theory which i felt is exactly what i want but coud'nt express that way. i shall put all these together in few days and if you dont mind i shall upload the file for more critism. By the way Peter I am not sure if i introduce my self formally, I am a 33 year old Male Medical Doctor, I trained in Nigeria and work just briefly before i developed a desire for research. i move to malaysia to study MPH, and now want to cap it up with a PhD in epidemiology, thanks to this website i discover you and your suppport is quite indespensable.Yusuf Misau.

Dear Peter,i am a bit more courageous to hear that you are behind me at least in liking the topic so to say. i see reasons in all that you say, but in the end you have merely kept me in my viciuos cycle. do you mean i change the title all together or just alter it to satisfy the doubting Thomas, what of this: Polio eradication in nigeria. "peeling the onion"? or this Polio eradication in nigeria: perspectives of the muslim clerics.concerning the suggestion you raised about mixing quali and quanti i will be glad if you can elaborate more on that please. i heard alot about the mix method appraoch but then i also heard its rather hectic.
