Is reproductive agency associated with subjective well-being? A population-based cross-sectional study among men and women in four sub-Saharan African countries using the World Values Survey
We investigated the association between reproductive agency (RA) and subjective well-being (SWB) in Ethiopia, Kenya, Nigeria, and Zimbabwe using cross-sectional research design. We used nationally representative data from the World Values Survey from 2017 to 2021 (N = 4948). SWB used four items on perceived: (i) life satisfaction (range 1-10), overall life agency (range 1-10), health status (range 1-5), and happiness (range 1-4). RA used one item…
Associations between psychosocial wellbeing and experience of gender-based violence at community, household, and intimate-partner levels among a cross-sectional cohort of young people living with and …
Findings suggest that for young people in this setting, GBV at community and household levels was more prevalent during COVID-19 compared to IPV, especially for YPLWoH. While we found limited associations between COVID-related stressors and GBV, the perceived increases in GBV since lockdown in a setting where GBV is endemic, and the association of household violence with mental health, is a concern for future pandemic responses and should be long…
Processing gender
The years between 10-19 represent a critical stage of human development during which boys and girls learn and embody socially constructed gender norms, with long-term implications for their sexual and reproductive health. This ethnographic cohort study sought to understand how gendered norms and practices develop during the transition from child to young adult in post-conflict northern Uganda. A total of 60 girls and boys aged 10-19 were selected…
Inexperienced’? Patterns in romantic and sexual experiences among urban poor early adolescents in Nairobi, Kenya
The need for early prevention approaches to improve young people's sexual and reproductive health is gaining attention, yet little is known about the sexual experiences of early adolescents aged 10-14 years. Drawing on cross-sectional survey data collected from 365 early adolescents in a Nairobi slum, we used latent class analysis to identify subgroups based on self-reported awareness about sex and involvement in romantic and sexual activities. M…
Transitions into puberty and access to sexual and reproductive health information in two humanitarian settings
This study highlights gaps in SRH information necessary for healthy transitions through puberty and supplies for menstrual hygiene in two humanitarian settings. VYA in these settings expressed closeness to their parents/guardians and the majority were in school. Introducing early SRH interventions that involve parents and educational centers may thus yield promising results, providing VYA with the necessary skills for understanding and dealing wi…
