Nigeria (2008): Report of the Baseline Survey on Knowledge, Attitude, Practice, Coverage and Quality of Coverage of the Female Condom in Nigeria

The study was aimed at obtaining information on knowledge of the female condom among men and women in Edo, Delta and Lagos States. The study locations were purposively selected based on the following reasons. Firstly, these states are associated with high contraceptive prevalence rates. Furthermore, the need for family planning services as well as AIDS prevention is high in these states. To be able to carry out the interventions effectively, these states were selected due to the existence of strong CBOs, Oxfam Novib partners such as Girls Power Initiative (GPI) and Lift Above Poverty Organisation (LAPO). Above all, the states were selected based on their relatively high population and high number of HIV infections.本研究旨在获取埃多州（Edo）、三角洲州（Delta）及拉各斯州（Lagos）的男性与女性对女用安全套（female condom）的认知相关信息。本次调研的地点采用立意抽样法选取，选取依据如下：其一，上述三州的避孕普及率较高；此外，该地区对计划生育服务与艾滋病预防的需求均较为旺盛；为有效开展相关公共卫生干预工作，本次研究选取上述三州的另一原因在于当地拥有实力雄厚、运作成熟的社区基层组织（Community-Based Organization，CBO），以及荷兰乐施会诺维布分部（Oxfam Novib）的合作机构，如女童力量倡议组织（Girls Power Initiative，GPI）与反贫困提升组织（Lift Above Poverty Organisation，LAPO）；最为重要的是，上述三州人口基数较大且艾滋病病毒（HIV）感染人数较多，因此被纳入本次研究。
