Marital status, from the perspective of men (and especially sexually active men), as a potential factor that influences contraceptive use for the purposes of fertility control, has received little consideration in the scientific literature. This study thus assesses contraceptive use among sexually active men occupying different marital statuses. The study employed the 2013 Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey dataset. Using a total sample of 11,476 weighted sexually active men, the study revealed that 30% of the sampled population were currently using contraceptives, with condom as the dominant method (65.9%). The unadjusted odds of contraceptive use was significantly higher (9.4; confidence interval [8.1, 10.9]) among single men than married. Other factors include wealth, educational attainment, ethnicity, region, religion, and age. The study concludes that there are significant differences in contraceptive use between the single and married men and, therefore, recommends that policy and programs be put in place to promote consistent use of contraceptives among married men in Nigeria.
从男性（尤其是性活跃男性）的角度来看，婚姻状况作为影响生育控制目的下避孕措施使用的一个潜在因素，在科学文献中很少受到关注。因此，本研究评估了处于不同婚姻状况的性活跃男性的避孕措施使用情况。该研究采用了2013年尼日利亚人口与健康调查数据集。以总共11476名加权性活跃男性为样本，研究发现，抽样人群中有30%目前正在使用避孕措施，其中避孕套是主要方式（65.9%）。单身男性使用避孕措施的未调整优势比显著高于已婚男性（9.4；置信区间[8.1, 10.9]）。其他因素包括财富、教育程度、种族、地区、宗教和年龄。研究得出结论，单身男性和已婚男性在避孕措施使用方面存在显著差异，因此建议制定政策和方案，以促进尼日利亚已婚男性持续使用避孕措施。
