The Association Between Adverse Childhood Events and Rape Myth Acceptance Among Young Adults in Agbogbloshie Ghana
Background Research shows that 27% of women in Ghana have reported experiencing sexual assault. While adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and rape myth acceptance (RMA) have each been independently associated with higher rates of sexual violence, their link remains unexplored. This study investigated the hypothesis that higher cumulative ACEs are associated with higher RMA.Methods Data were from a 2019 cross-sectional survey of 290 randomly sele…
Team‐up
This Data Article describes a novel dataset from the “Re‐Examining Traditional Method Use” ( TEAM‐UP ) project, which systematically collected data on the measurement of and motivations for use of non‐modern (traditional and folkloric) contraceptive methods and/or modern methods, in four sub‐Saharan African countries: the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ghana, Kenya, and Nigeria. TEAM‐UP comprises four datasets (two quantitative and two qualitative…
Methodological Innovations for Evidencing and Estimating Modern and Traditional Contraceptive Prevalence and Use Dynamics in Sub‐Saharan Africa
Contraceptive prevalence estimates are indicators of the performance of family planning programs. Yet, available evidence suggests that national surveys may be underestimating the prevalence of traditional methods. The apparent underestimation of traditional methods stems from current approaches for collecting, analyzing, and reporting contraceptive data. We examined the effect of survey methodological innovations on the estimation of traditional…
Contraception to women’s economic empowerment
The pathway linking contraceptive access and use to women's economic empowerment is explored in this narrative review. Contraception can have a direct effect on women's economic empowerment through supporting bodily autonomy, but the main way in which the pathway links is through fertility. Contraception impacts the timing, spacing, and number of births, and these elements of fertility each impact the process of women's economic empowerment. Thes…
Adverse childhood experiences are associated with HIV risk factors in Agbogbloshie, Ghana
Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) have been associated with increased risk factors for HIV transmission, but the causal pathway is uncertain. This study documents the prevalence of ACEs by gender and their association with HIV risk factors and assesses depressive symptoms as mediating this relationship. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in 2019 among a representative sample of men and women, aged 18–24 years, living in an informal settlem…
Being overweight and its association with risky sexual behaviour among female youth in Ghana
The Migration Experience and Differential Risks to Sexual and Reproductive Health in Ghana
Background. Though internal migration in Ghana has become increasingly common in recent years, research has not focused on the gendered experiences and perceptions of migration and the association with sexual and reproductive health risks for male and female migrants. Method. A qualitative study using semistructured interviews among migrant market workers and market leaders working in Agbogbloshie in Accra, Ghana, was completed in April 2018. Int…
Evaluation of a multimedia youth anti-smoking and girls’ empowerment campaign
The study demonstrates the effectiveness of a multimedia campaign to increase perceived support, empowerment and improve decision-making among adolescent girls in a developing country
Does financial autonomy imply reproductive and sexual autonomy? Evidence from urban poor women in Accra, Ghana
This article investigates the association between financial autonomy and three other measures of autonomy – sexual autonomy, perceived reproductive autonomy and actual reproductive autonomy in Ga-Mashie, Accra, Ghana. From anthropological accounts, the financial independence of women from this community, coupled with unique living arrangements, have resulted in them being independent and autonomous. The analytical sample consists of 172 women who…
The Conditionality of Norms
Social norms are rules that prescribe and proscribe behavior. The application of norms is conditional. But scholars have little systematic understanding of the factors that affect conditionality. The authors argue that understanding norms requires assessing the costs and benefits of focal and nonfocal behaviors for norm targets, beneficiaries, and enforcers. The authors develop hypotheses about two combinations of these factors; they hypothesize …
Lab experiments in demographic fieldwork
Anthropological literature has long linked bridewealth payments to decision-making about fertility. Recent research underscores the significance of menâ s preferences regarding womenâ s reproductive behavior, and suggests that bridewealth payments place cons
The Shadow of Indebtedness
Bridewealth is fundamental to marriage in Africa. Anthropological research provides substantial information regarding characteristics of the bridewealth transaction, but scholars and policymakers know little about its consequences for women in contemporary Africa. We argue that the payment of bridewealth strengthens normative constraints on women's autonomy in the reproductive domain. We test and find support for our argument using a unique vigne…
