Intimate Partner and Family Violence Child Abuse and Trauma Sexual Assault and Victimization Studies

Abstract

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.
