This study determined the factors associated with gender based violence among 3000 men and women in selected states in Nigeria. Respondents who had experienced physical violence were 806 (26.9%), comprising 353 (11.8%) males and 453 (15.1%) females (p<0.001). Respondents who had experienced sexual violence were 364 (12.1%) of which 221 (7.4%) were males and 143 (4.8%) were females (p<0.0001). Married female respondents were more likely to experience physical violence than single respondents (OR= 1.71, 95%CI: 1.15-2.53 p=0.008). In addition, lower risk of experiencing sexual violence among males was observed among those who do not drink alcohol. The study has shown that gender based violence still constitutes a problem in Nigeria, affecting women more than men. However, efforts should be geared towards addressing the factors that promote violence among both sexes through increased awareness and education.
本研究确定了尼日利亚部分州3000名男性和女性中与性别暴力相关的因素。经历过身体暴力的受访者有806人（26.9%），其中男性353人（11.8%），女性453人（15.1%）（p<0.001）。经历过性暴力的受访者有364人（12.1%），其中男性221人（7.4%），女性143人（4.8%）（p<0.0001）。已婚女性受访者比单身受访者更有可能经历身体暴力（比值比=1.71，95%置信区间：1.15 - 2.53，p=0.008）。此外，在不饮酒的男性中观察到遭受性暴力的风险较低。该研究表明，性别暴力在尼日利亚仍然是一个问题，对女性的影响大于男性。然而，应通过提高认识和教育努力解决促使两性实施暴力的因素。
