Determinants, Disclosure, and Help-Seeking Behaviour in Domestic Violence: A Comparative Study of Women in Rural and Urban Settings in Anambra State, Nigeria

Domestic violence (DV) against women remains a pervasive public health problem worldwide. Disclosure and help-seeking behaviours are critical pathways for accessing support and protection, yet they remain poorly understood in low- and middle-income countries, including Nigeria. This study examined the determinants, disclosure patterns, and help-seeking behaviours related to DV among women in rural and urban settings.
