Declarations
:
: I confirm that all methods were performed in accordance with the relevant guidelines. The study is a secondary analysis of data extracted from the 2018 Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS). The protocol of the 2018 NDHS was approved in the United States by the ICF Review Board (ICF IRB FWA00000845), and in Nigeria by the National Health Research Ethics Committee of Nigeria (NHREC/01/01/2007). Respondents in the 2018 NDHS provided both written and verbal consent. In households where a minor such as age 16 or less were selected for interview, verbal and written consent was provided either by the head of household or by the male partner if married. The datasets analysed did not provide link to individuals, households, and communities covered in the survey. Prior to utilisation of the data, a brief concept of the study was submitted to Measure DHS for permission to utilise the data. Approval was granted through a document from ICF. No further ethical approval was sought since the study analysed an existing dataset which is available in the public domain. Also, analyses carried out are anonymous.
