Declarations
:
: Ethical clearance was obtained from the Jos University Teaching Hospital Ethics Committee with reference number JUTH/DCS/IREC/127/XXXI/2235. Appropriate permissions were sought from the Benue State Ministry of Education. The school principals of the selected schools were paid advocacy visits by the researcher to ask for their support and seek permission. Consent was obtained from all the participants and parents were duly informed and they were assured of confidentiality and anonymity. The names of the selected schools are anonymous because issues of sexuality are very sensitive in the study area. The analysis was not disaggregated based on tribe and religion to avoid attributing certain sexual behaviors to ethnicity and religion.
