Declarations

: All methods were performed in accordance with the relevant guidelines and regulations. The study was a secondary analysis of data collected in the 2018 Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey. ICF Review Board approved the survey protocol in the United States (ICF IRB FWA00000845). The National Health Research Ethics Committee of Nigeria also approved the protocol before its implementation in Nigeria (NHREC/01/01/2007). During the survey, participants provided both written and verbal informed consent. In addition, verbal and written informed consent was provided either by the head of household or by the male partner if married where a minor such as age 16 or less were selected for participation in the survey. A brief concept note of the study detailing the research methods was submitted online to Measure DHS for the purpose of getting authorization to download and analyze the data. Measure DHS granted the authorization without delay via a document from ICF. Additional ethical approval was not necessary and was not obtained since the data analyzed is available in the public domain. Analyses did not provide a link to any individual, household, or community.
