【 摘 要 】

This study was conducted to determine the prevalence and predictors of intimate partner violence (IPV) among female youth in an urban low-income neighborhood in Ibadan, Nigeria. Data for 298 female youth (15-24 years) were analyzed. The respondents’ mean age was 20.8 ± 2.2 years and 21% had suffered IPV within 12 months of the study. Predictors of 12-month IPV were circumstances surrounding sexual debut: coerced (odds ratio [OR] = 4.18; confidence interval [CI] = [1.49, 11.75]) or forced (OR = 4.76; CI = [1.67, 13.59]) compared with consensual sex, history of partner involvement in fights (OR = 2.78; CI = [1.02, 7.54]), and history of partners’ father beating mother (OR = 41.82; CI = [5.03, 347.80]). IPV is common among female youth in Idikan community and interventions need to target these youth and their partners.
