      abstract = {Sexual voilence remains a major public health and human rights concern, particularly within tertiary institutions in developing countries. This study examined whether age group and educational level influence undergraduates? perceptions of factors associated with sexual voilence in a Tertiary Institution. A cross-sectional survey design was employed, involving 100 undergraduate students selected using a simple random sampling technique. Data were collected using a structured and validated questionnaire. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize respondents? socio-demographic characteristics, while associations between age group, educational level, and perceived factors associated with sexual voilence were examined using Pearson?s chi-square test and likelihood ratio statistics. To assess the strength of associations, responses were dichotomized and binary logistic regression models were conceptually employed to estimate odds ratios. The results indicated that for most perceived factors, no statistically significant association existed with either age group or educational level (p > 0.05). However, perceptions relating to addiction to pornography and misinterpretation of sexual cues showed statistically significant associations with both age group and educational level (p < 0.05). These findings suggest that undergraduate perceptions are largely homogeneous across demographic categories, with variation observed only for specific psychosocial factors. The study highlights the need for targeted educational and behavioral interventions within tertiary institutions.},
