CONTEXT: A better understanding is needed of the variables that may influence the
risk of experiencing coerced sex among adolescent females in Sub-Saharan Africa.
METHODS: Data were collected from 700 female respondents who were interviewed in
2010 and 2012 waves of a longitudinal study of behavioral risk for HIV infection
among youth aged 13-14 or 18-19 and living in two towns in southeastern Ghana. A
series of logistic regression models examined the influences of household
composition and wealth, four family process variables (behavioral control,
relationship quality, financial support, conflict), school enrollment and
relationship experience on females' risk of experiencing coerced sex. RESULTS:
Eighteen percent of respondents reported having experienced coerced sex prior to
Wave 1, and 13% experienced it between Waves 1 and 2. In both cross-sectional and
prospective models, the variable with the strongest association with having
experienced coerced sex was having ever had a boyfriend (fully adjusted odds
ratios, 4.5 and 2.6, respectively). In cross-sectional analyses, parental
behavioral control was negatively associated with risk for coerced sex, while
parental conflict was positively associated; these associations were not
significant in the prospective analyses. Having a boyfriend appears to be the
primary predictor of coerced sex among young females, beyond any influence of
family, school or other household variables. CONCLUSIONS: More research is needed
to understand the context of females' relationships with boyfriends in an effort
to reduce the risk of sexual coercion and to promote the prevention of sexual
violence perpetrated by males within these relationships.
