  • Lineage Resources, Gender Norms, and Intimate Partner Violence among Women in Ghana

    Open AccessVictor Agyei-Yeboah, E Y TenkorangARTICLESocial Currents2026

    Past research has shown a nexus between lineage and intimate partner violence (IPV) among Ghanaian women. The studies suggest patrilineal women are significantly more likely to experience severe forms of IPV than matrilineal women, but they do not explore the mechanisms linking kinship, lineage, and IPV. They also limit their analysis to patrilineal and matrilineal women, ignoring those identifying as bilateral. We interviewed 27 patrilineal, mat…

  • Spiritual Abuse in Ghana

    Open AccessE Y Tenkorang, Adobea Y Owusu et al.ARTICLEJournal for the Scientific Study…2026

    Anecdotal evidence suggests spiritual/religious abuse is rife globally, but more so in Ghana, where spiritual and religious practices are commonplace. Yet little scholarly work explores spiritual abuse and its relationship with other documented types of abuse. We used data collected from 1702 ever‐married Ghanaian women to explore the various dimensions of spiritual abuse and examined its relationship with physical, sexual, emotional, and economi…

  • Lineage Heterogamy and Intimate Partner Violence Among Women in Ghana

    Open AccessE Y TenkorangARTICLESocial Currents2025Referências: 16

    This study examined heterogamies based on lineage and their relationship with intimate partner violence (IPV) in Ghana. We used nationally representative cross-sectional data collected in 2017 from 1,789 women aged 18 years and older to build random-effect logit models and examine this relationship. We hypothesized that women in heterogamous unions based on lineage are more likely to experience IPV than those in homogamous unions. Our findings pr…

  • Food Insecurity Over the Life Course and Intimate Partner Violence Among Women Living With HIV/Aids in Ghana

    Open AccessE Y Tenkorang, Adobea Yaa OwusuARTICLESociological Inquiry2025Referências: 37

    Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a significant problem globally. It is especially problematic in sub-Saharan Africa, including Ghana. Some evidence suggests women living with HIV/AIDS (WLHIV) are more severely affected than others. A possible reason for their increased vulnerability is food insecurity. Food insecurity occurs when nutritionally adequate and safe foods are not available or inaccessible and is disproportionately high among WLHIV. …

  • Covid-19, pandemic lockdowns and intimate partner violence among HIV-positive women in Ghana

    E Y Tenkorang, Akosua Pokua Adjei et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2024

    This study examines the prevalence and risk factors of physical, sexual, psychological, and economic violence during lockdowns associated with COVID-19 among HIV-positive women in Ghana. Data were collected in August 2021 from a cross-section of 538 HIV-positive women aged 18 years and older in the Lower Manya Krobo District in the Eastern region of Ghana. Logit models were used to explore relationships between women's self-reported experiences o…

  • Economic Abuse of Women in Intimate Relationships in Ghana

    Open AccessJessica D Boateng, E Y Tenkorang et al.ARTICLEViolence Against Women2024Referências: 16

    Economic abuse is a significant gender-based problem in Ghana and sub-Saharan Africa, but few studies explore the consequences of this type of abuse on women's lives and their coping strategies. This study examined the narratives of 16 Ghanaian women in intimate relationships who experienced economic abuse in the Greater Accra, Ashanti, and Upper East regions of Ghana. Results indicate economic abuse negatively affected female survivors' jobs, bu…

  • Activity limitations and participation restrictions among people with non-communicable diseases in Ghana

    Open AccessEmmanuel Banchani, E Y Tenkorang et al.ARTICLEAgeing and Society2024Referências: 58

    Anecdotal evidence suggests that non-communicable diseases (NCDs) contribute substantially to mortality, morbidity and disability in Ghana. Nonetheless, no data are presently available on Ghanaians with disability from major NCDs, such as hypertension, diabetes and stroke. Using data from the 2007/2008 Ghana World Health Organization Study on Global Ageing and Adult Health (SAGE) and applying ordinary least squares techniques, the prevalence of a…

  • I Almost Poisoned Myself’

    Gervin Ane Apatinga, E Y TenkorangARTICLESociological Focus2024Referências: 5

    Despite growing evidence of an increased risk of suicidality among female survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV), no scientific research has explored this topic in Ghana, where male-partner violence is not uncommon. Using thematic analysis to analyze and synthesize 30 in-depth interviews with female survivors in the Eastern Region of Ghana, this study explored the suicidal behaviors of women in abusive intimate relationships. The findings s…

  • Measuring Lineage

    Open AccessE Y Tenkorang, Adobea Yaa OwusuARTICLESociology of Race and Ethnicity2024Citada por: 2Referências: 35

    Previous research on family violence in sub-Saharan Africa highlighted the importance of lineage to women's experiences of intimate partner violence (IPV). The findings suggest women in patrilineal societies face a greater risk of experiencing IPV than those in matrilineal societies. However, a major critique of this body of work is the operationalization of lineage with ethnicity. This study highlights the weaknesses/strengths of using ethnicity…

  • Intimate Partner Violence and Health Outcomes Among Women Living With HIV/Aids in Ghana

    Open AccessE Y Tenkorang, Adobea Yaa Owusu et al.ARTICLEHealth Education & Behavior2023

    Intimate partner violence (IPV) is known to have negative health consequences for victims. For women living with HIV/AIDS, whose health may be compromised, exposure to IPV can be devastating. Yet few (if any) studies have explored the health implications of exposure to IPV among HIV-positive women. We begin to fill this gap by examining the effects of various dimensions of IPV (physical, sexual, psychological/emotional, and economic) on the cardi…

  • The Little Money I Get Is Used to Buy Drugs”

    Open AccessGervin Ane Apatinga, E Y TenkorangARTICLEViolence Against Women2023Referências: 6

    Empirical research confirms the economic costs of intimate partner violence (IPV) for women. Yet, scholarship on this topic is lacking in Ghana, where IPV against women is commonplace. We used in-depth interviews with 15 female survivors of IPV in the Eastern Region to examine the economic costs of IPV for women. Findings showed that the economic costs were both direct and indirect. Direct costs included out-of-pocket payments for medical and non…

  • Help-Seeking Behaviors of Male Survivors of Intimate Partner Violence in Kenya

    Open AccessE Y Tenkorang, Mariama Zaami et al.ARTICLEJournal of Family Issues2023Referências: 19

    Very few studies examine the help-seeking behaviors of male survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV) in Kenya or sub-Saharan Africa more generally. Using nationally representative cross-sectional data from 1,458 male survivors and multinomial logit models, we examined what influences men's decision to seek help after experiencing IPV. Results show the majority of male survivors did not seek help. Those who did so turned to informal rather tha…

  • Risk factors for Caesarean sections in Ghana

    Open AccessEmmanuel Banchani, E Y TenkorangARTICLEJournal of Biosocial Science2022

    A Caesarean section can be a life-saving intervention in case of pregnancy complications or difficult labour. The prevalence of Caesarean section continues to increase, especially in sub-Saharan Africa, yet the reasons for this remain largely unexplored. This study investigated risk factors contributing to the decision to perform Caesarean sections in Ghana using data from 8645 women aged 15–49 years from the 2017 Ghana Maternal Health Survey. Th…

  • Motivations and Barriers to Help-Seeking Among Female Victims of Intimate Partner Violence in Ghana

    Open AccessEmmanuel Rohn, E Y TenkorangARTICLEViolence Against Women2022Citada por: 4Referências: 10

    This study used qualitative data from 30 women in three of Ghana's 16 administrative regions to explore motivations and barriers to help-seeking among victims of intimate partner violence. Results of the thematic analysis showed low reporting to formal support networks, such as the Domestic Violence and Victim Support Unit or the police, with higher preference for informal sources, such as family members and friends. Motivations to seek help incl…

  • High HIV/Aids Prevalence in a Suburban Area in Ghana

    Susan Langmagne, E Y Tenkorang et al.ARTICLEJournal of Human Trafficking2021

    A plethora of scholarly studies have indicated that migration and human trafficking contribute to the spread of HIV/AIDS. However, most of these studies have focused on the role cross border migration and trafficking play in the spread of HIV/AIDS at the expense of internal migration and trafficking. This paper explores how internal migration and human trafficking contribute to the spread of HIV/AIDS in the Manya Krobo area of Ghana. The study re…

  • Barriers to Help-Seeking for Sexual Violence Among Married or Cohabiting Women in Ghana

    Open AccessGervin Ane Apatinga, E Y TenkorangARTICLEViolence Against Women2021Citada por: 2Referências: 14

    While sexual violence against women has gained attention in sub-Saharan Africa, research examining help-seeking remains limited. Scholarship on barriers to help-seeking among sexually abused married or cohabiting women is particularly lacking. We used the barriers model and held 15 in-depth interviews with sexually abused Ghanaian married or cohabiting women to examine help-seeking behaviors. Participants identified multiple barriers to help-seek…
