Violence Victimisation and Mental Health Distress Among Adolescent Girls Living with HIV in Southern Africa
Adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) living with HIV face heightened risks of mental distress, which may be compounded by exposure to violence and socioeconomic vulnerabilities. This study examined whether social protection moderates the relationship between violence exposure and mental distress among AGYW living with HIV in Eswatini, Lesotho, and Namibia. Using data from the Violence Against Children and Youth Surveys (VACS), we analysed 1,00…
Accelerating HIV Prevention in Cameroon
Adolescent girls in Cameroon face substantial sexual and reproductive health vulnerabilities that heighten their risk of HIV exposure. Using data from 2,586 adolescent girls aged 15-19 years from the 2017-18 Cameroon Population-based HIV Impact Assessment, we examined factors associated with multiple sexual partnerships, age-disparate sex, inconsistent condom use, transactional sex, and a composite measure of high-risk sex. Overall, 4.31% reporte…
Socio-demographic disparities in basic under-two immunization coverage
The study highlights low coverage of basic immunization in some districts as well as socio-demographic disparities in under-two immunization coverage in Malawi, necessitating tailored interventions such as educational campaigns and region-specific strategies
Breaking barriers
Findings emphasize the role of education, wealth, gender attitudes, and HIV testing in enhancing condom use negotiation among AGYW in Mozambique. Public health initiatives should address these factors to strengthen negotiation skills and support HIV prevention efforts
Mental distress among adolescent girls and young women in Southern Africa
Associations between lifetime pregnancy and sexual risk behaviors among 15-24-year-old adolescent girls and young women in South Africa
Adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) in South Africa are highly vulnerable to HIV and poor sexual and reproductive health (SRH) outcomes. Interventions must respond to the unique needs of different AGYW groups, such as AGYW who have ever been pregnant. The objective of the study is to examine associations between pregnancy and sexual risk behaviors among AGYW in South Africa. This study used the 2016 nationally representative Demographic and H…
Induced abortion in Ghana
The termination of unwanted pregnancies is a growing health-related issue around the world. This study used the 2017 Ghana Maternal Health Survey to examine the factors associated with the prevalence of induced abortion in Ghana. The study sample included 18,116 women of reproductive age who had a pregnancy in the 5 years preceding the survey. A multivariate logistic regression technique was applied. The prevalence of induced abortion was higher …
Chasing the Youth Dividend in Nigeria, Malawi and South Africa
Africa's new source of hope lies in harnessing Demographic Dividend, which may create a window of economic opportunity as fertility levels decrease if the correct policies and programmes are put in place. It has been shown that the health status of young people should be optimal for the realisation of the demographic dividend. This study examined the association between poverty and the health status and health seeking behaviour of young women (15…
Socio-demographic changes in age at first marriage in Malawi
This study aimed to identify the social and demographic correlates of the trend in age at first marriage among women in Malawi, using Malawi Demographic and Health Survey data collected between 1992 and 2016. Employing Cox Proportional Hazard modelling, the results showed that the mean age at first marriage during the 18-year period remained constant at 17.4 years. Furthermore, across all the surveys, younger women married at an early age compare…
