Abstract

Background
The COVID-19 pandemic led to a lockdown in Nigeria, worsening the already existing sexual and reproductive health (SRH) challenges among female undergraduates. This study determined and compared access to SRH services, risky sexual behavior (RSB), rape, intimate partner violence (IPV), and access to sanitary menstrual care products before and during the COVID-19 lockdown among female undergraduates in Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile Ife, Nigeria.
