Declarations
:
: The methods adopted in the study complied with appropriate guidelines. The study analysed secondary data from the 2018 Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey. The survey protocol was first approved in the United States by the ICF Review Board (ICF IRB FWA00000845). The protocol was also approved in Nigeria by the National Health Research Ethics Committee of Nigeria (NHREC/01/01/2007). All the participants in the survey provided both written and verbal informed consent. In some households where a minor such as age 16 or less was recruited for the survey, verbal and written informed consent was provided either by the head of household or by the male partner if married. The authors submitted a brief concept note to Measure DHS for the purpose of obtaining authorisation to download the data. Authorisation was granted via a document from ICF. Additional ethical approval was not obtained since the data analysed is available in the public domain. All analyses performed were in an anonymous form.
