Sex, Power, and Adolescence: Intimate Partner Violence and Sexual Behaviors
研究评估了针对撒哈拉以南非洲青少年的两种干预措施：为女性设定目标改善性健康，为男性伴侣提供足球教育，两者均显著减少女性报告的亲密伴侣暴力。
Abstract Adolescents in Sub-Saharan Africa face high rates of intimate partner violence (IPV). This paper evaluates the impact of offering adolescent females a goal-setting inter- vention to improve sexual and reproductive health and offering their male partners a soccer-based intervention, which educates and inspires young men to make better sexual and reproductive health choices. Both interventions significantly reduce female reports of IPV. The soccer intervention improves male attitudes around violence and risky sexual behaviors. Females in the goal setting arm take control of their sexual and reproductive health by exiting violent relationships. Both mechanisms drive reductions in IPV.
