Declarations

: All methods performed in the study were done in accordance with the relevant guidelines and regulations. The study extracted and analyzed data of the 2018 Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey. The survey protocol was first approved by the ICF Review Board in the United States (ICF IRB FWA00000845) and later approved by the National Health Research Ethics Committee of Nigeria (NHREC/01/01/2007). During the implementation of the survey, men and women recruited for participation provided written and verbal informed consent. In addition, where a minor such as age 16 or less was recruited for participation, verbal and written informed consent was provided by the head of household or the male partner if the minor was married. Also, where an illiterate participant was recruited for participation, verbal and written consent was provided by the head of the household. A formal online request was made to download and analyzed the data. The authorization was granted by Measure DHS without delay via a document from ICF. Additional ethical approval was not needed to conduct the study not only because the data analyzed is available in the public domain, but also because the analyses could not be linked to any individual, household, or community.
