The International Congress on Health Sciences and Technology is an annual event. In 2017, the second in the series of the congress addressed several challenges in health with the theme “Appropriate Technologies for Health and Disease: An Innovative Approach to Drive Sustainable Healthcare Delivery.” The success of the deliberations opened a new vista of challenge which informed the choice of this year’s theme: “Innovative Technologies for Disease Prevention and Wellness Promotion.” The theme became essential with the hindsight of the ravaging onslaught of preventable diseases like malaria, HIV/AIDS, Diabetes, Heart Blood Pressure, Kidney and Liver diseases, ocular and dental diseases; to mention but a few, against humanity. The discourse on the scientific papers presented by renowned scholars from inside and outside Nigeria revolved around the adaptation of the ancient dictum, “Prevention is better than cure.” It critically examined, discussed, evaluated and proffered solutions to discovering innovative approaches, using new technologies to address the fundamental health problems of developing countries, particularly, Nigeria. Papers delivered at the Congress covered all aspects of public health. With so many people dying of preventable diseases in Nigeria and around the African continent, the immerse benefits of the Congress can rightly be decided. Leaning on very poor resources, Nigeria and the whole of Africa need to tackle health issues at the very primary stage, which hinges on prevention and wellness promotion, and hence the theme. The yearly Congress is a welcomed development which targets the local health needs of communities in Nigeria. We are anxiously looking forward to the fourth in the series which will take place from 7th to 9th of August, 2019. We welcome every willing participant!

Introduction - Study difficulty is the inability to obtain maximum result from efforts put into studying. It can negatively affect the physical and mental stability of the student leading to increased dropout from school. Objective - This study examined the prevalence, pattern and correlates of study difficulty among students of College of Health Sciences, Ladoke Akintola University of Technology Osogbo. Methods - Two hundred and seventy-seven students of the College were consecutively recruited. Each student filled socio-demographic questionnaire, University College London Study Questionnaire (UCLSQ), Brief COPE Questionnaire and General Health Questionnaire. The Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) software (version 21) was used for the analysis. Results -The mean age of the respondents was 26.3 years. The proportion of Medical, Nursing and Medical Laboratory Science students were 42.6%, 31.8% and 25.6%respectively. Most of the respondents were from married home (77.5%), monogamous setting (78.0%), parents with tertiary education and higher class of occupation. The prevalence of study difficulty among the respondents was 52.0%. Multiple linear regression analysis with stepwise method showed that respondents using less of adaptive coping strategies (p = 0,005) and presence of psychiatric morbidity (p<0.001) were independently associated with the presence of study difficulty. Conclusion - This study has shown that psychiatric morbidity and maladaptive coping strategy use were more common among students with study difficulty. A routine mental health assessment and practical teaching of adaptive coping strategy in the citadels of learning in particular the tertiary level/medical and paramedical professions.
