Школьные и родительские факторы связаны с одноночной стойкой, использованием презервативов при сексуальном дебюте и множественными сексуальными партнерами

Во многих странах рискованное сексуальное поведение, как представляется, стало более распространенным среди сексуально активных молодых людей в результате более широкого признания добрачного сексуального поведения. Это создает угрозу для сексуального и репродуктивного здоровья тех, кто занимается этим. В рамках этого исследования изучалось возможное влияние школьных и родительских факторов, таких, как время полового дебюта (до или после поступления), тип учреждения, тип жилья (будь то в кампусе или вне кампуса), тип брака родителей, консультирование родителей и семья социализации в связи с тре

RESULTS: The adolescents reported experi…

Socioeconomic factors and processes associated with domestic violence in rural Bangladesh.

CONTEXT: Although the pervasiveness of domestic violence against women in Bangladesh is well documented, specific risk factors, particularly those that can be affected by policies and programs, are not well understood. METHODS: In 2001-2002, surveys, in-depth interviews and small group discussions were conducted with married women from six Bangladeshi villages to examine the types and severity of domestic violence, and to explore the pathways through which women's social and economic circumstances may influence their vulnerability to violence in marriage. Women's odds of experiencing domestic…

In Eastern and Southern Africa (ESA), there is heterogeneity within adolescent mothers' (AMs') sexual relationships. However, existing studi … usting for multilevel factors). We also identified 2 PHIA cluster-level classes: high age-disparate marriage (49%) and low marriage (51%). Low-wealth communities had higher odds of being high age-disparate marriage communities. Results suggest that AMs' relationships fall into 3 distinct typologies and 2 community-level classes. Further, HIV prevalence var …

After Obergefell: Legally Married Status Is Associated With Lower Depressive Symptoms Among Cisgender Sexual Minority Couples.

Married heterosexual couples evidence better mental health compared to unmarried couples, yet research among same-sex couples has lagged because of the history of legal same-sex marriage in the United States. The current study investigated whether marital status was associated with depression among sexual minority couples. This study used cross-sectional data from a sample of cisgender, sexual minority couples collected across the United States (N = 60 couples) from 2017 to 2018, after full legal marriage recognition in 2015. Multilevel models tested if married couples, relative to unmarried c…

Psychosocial health in adolescent unmarried motherhood in rural Uganda: Implications for community-based collaborative mental health education, and empowerment strategies in the prevention of depression and suicide.

Teenage pregnancy rates in Uganda are among the highest in sub-Saharan Africa. Child marriage is often the result of unmarried teenage pregnancy and is recognised by Uganda's government as a form of sexual violence and an outcome of inequality. However, unmarried motherhood incurs stigma and shame within traditionally living rural communities. Using co-produced Open Space and ethnographic methods, we examined the psychosocial impact of unmarried motherhood on girls and their communities, and explored problem-solving with key local stakeholders. Findings indicate that girls experience extreme s…

Associated factors of first-birth interval among women in reproductive age, addressing maternal and child health.

BACKGROUND: The first-birth interval directly influences family size and maternal and child mortality. The objective of this study is to investigate factors associated with the time of the first-birth after the first marriage among women in Iran. METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, the first birth history of 1350 women aged 15-49 years was collected in Kerman (southern Iran) in 2018. To assess the predictor variables of the first-birth interval and calculate the adjusted hazard ratios, multivariate Cox regression was used. The P-value < 0.05 was considered as significant. The statistical …

Landscaping the behaviours, drivers and norms influencing the wellbeing of very young adolescents: an exploration of stakeholders' perspectives in Nigeria.

BACKGROUND: In Nigeria, very young adolescents face overlapping risks (early marriage, GBV, poor SRH knowledge, low HPV vaccination, and limited opportunities for girls) driven by social, economic, and institutional barriers. Understanding these determinants is crucial for targeted interventions. This study explored behaviours and norms shaping VYAs in Nigeria. METHODS: We used a qualitative, multi-state design with social-ecological and norms frameworks plus Five Whys analysis to map behaviours and drivers. Our research in 12 states examined early marriage, gender-based violence, HPV vaccinat…

Marital strategies for regulating exposure to HIV.

In a setting where the transmission of HIV occurs primarily through heterosexual contact and where no cure or vaccine is available, behavioral change is imperative for containing the epidemic. Abstinence, faithfulness, and condom use most often receive attention in this regard. In contrast, this article treats marriage as a resource for HIV risk management via mechanisms of positive selection (partner choice) and negative selection (divorce of an adulterous spouse). Retrospective marriage histories and panel data provide the evidence for this study and results indicate that men and women in Ma…

Sexual behaviour in a group of urban females.

Sexual behaviour of 75 normal married females was studied. Most of them had a healthy attitude to sex. Frequency of sexual activity decreases with age and duration of marriage. Median frequency for 21-30years age was 2/week, for 31- 40years was 1.4/week and for 41-50 years was 0.5/week. Frequency of coitus did not correlate with socio-economic status. Nearly 52% women had more than 50% satisfactory coitus. Sexual satisfaction was significantly associated with economic status and satisfactory marriage. It did not have any correlation with frequency of coitus in women above 30 years of age. Dura…

Marital status and sexual adjustment after colectomy. Results in 178 patients operated on for ulcerative colitis.

The frequency of marriage and divorce did not differ from that of the general population. Female ileostomists married less often than females with ileorectal anastomosis (IRA) and had reduced fertility. Genital functional disturbance was not reported by the IRA males but occurred in 8 of 52 male ileostomists below 50. The coital activity, however, seemed undisturbed except for one married male. Dyspareunia was experienced by 8 of 15 IRA females aged 16-49 and intercourse triggered precipitancy in 2 of them. In a similar group of ileostomists only 5 of 50 had occasional dyspareunia. The coital …

Gaucher's Disease in an Adult Male: A Case Report of a Rare Mutation.

Gaucher's disease is a rare autosomal recessive inborn error of metabolism. As the presentation of this disease is similar to more common diseases like malaria, portal hypertension, hematological disorders, and kala-azar, this rare disease may not be thought of as a differential diagnosis, and a high index of suspicion is required to avoid diagnostic delay. We report a case of type 1 Gaucher's disease in an adult male born out of a consanguineous marriage. He was from a region where the prevalence of infectious diseases and sickle cell anemia is high. He presented with abdominal distension, he…

Three critical questions for future research on lesbian relationships.

In this article I discuss three questions that should be priorities for future research on lesbian love and relationships. The first question concerns the very definition of "lesbian relationship," given how many women may be engaged in same-sex relationships without identifying as lesbian. The second question concerns the potential influence of childhood neglect and abuse on adult women's same-sex relationships, a topic that has important implications for both psychological well-being and relationship functioning. The third question concerns the potential downsides of legal marriage for women…

[Specific features of spouse alcoholism].

The paper aims at specifying the update topology of spouse alcoholism. The results of the study, including 85 alcohol addict couples (both husband and wife), show that spouse alcoholism can be divided into the following types in relation to the initial time of alcohol abuse: the early type when both mates had already developed alcohol drinking behavior before the marriage and genuine late type, when alcohol addiction was formed after the marriage. The genuine spouse alcoholism can be further subdivided into depressive, neurotic and codependent types. It can be noted that prognosis of spouse al…

Lay perceptions of genetic risks attributable to inbreeding in Pakistan.

Pakistan along with many other West and South Asian countries has a very high prevalence of consanguineous, especially close cousin, marriages. Although there is substantial empirical information on offspring morbidity and mortality attributable to parental consanguinity, population-based information on how communities in general, and women in particular, perceive the health risks associated with consanguineous unions is limited. This paper considers community perceptions of health effects associated with consanguineous marriages using qualitative data from 15 focus group discussions and 294 i…

SUBJECTS: Birth certificate data from Ohio for 318,616 singleton infants born to married parents from 2016 to 2020. EXPOSURE: We estimated the associations of having a parent in a same-sex marriage (SSM) vs. a different-sex marriage (DSM). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Preterm birth, low birth weight, macrosomia, small infant for gestational age, large infant for gestational age, and whether these outcomes differed by use of assisted reproduct…

Assortative Mating Across the Full Spectrum of Mental Disorders: A Nationwide Finnish Register Study.

BACKGROUND: Previous research has shown assortative mating across various psychiatric disorders; however, their definitions of partnership have often been limited, and the timing of relationship formation has been imprecise. In this study, we aimed to comprehensively examine assortative mating across the full spectrum of mental disorders using population-wide register data from Finland that include information on the formation of both marriages and cohabiting unions. METHODS: We used nationwide data on all cohabitations and marriages between 2000 and 2020 from the Finnish Population Register …
