| RESULTS: A greater proportion ofmales than of females had sought treatment for their STIs (64%vs.48%).Among those who had sought treatment,60%of females had gone to formal sources,most commonly a government clinic;54%of males had sought care frominformal sources,most commonly a traditional healer.Females had lower odds thanmales of having sought STI treatment (odds ratio,0.6).Among bothmales and females,economic statuswas positively associatedwith seeking treatment froma formal source rather than an informal source (2.4–4.2);among females, 22–24-year-oldsweremore likely than those aged 15–18 to have sought treatment froma formal source (2.5). CONCLUSION: Programs and policies that aim to increase treatment of STIs among young people in Nigeria need to target males and females differently. | |
