“…The nding is consistent with other studies conducted in a different part of Ethiopia (5,11,38). It was also in agreement with studies conducted in Mexico (4), Philippines (17), Korea (42) and Canada (43). This might be due to the nature of substances to affect individual consciousness and critical thinking about the risk and consequences of early sexual initiation (15,22,24,25,44).…”

Background: Evidences on determinants of early sexual initiation among female youth is still limited especially; community-level factors are not investigated in Ethiopia. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess individual and community-level factors associated with early sexual initiation among female youth in Ethiopia.Methods: The 2016 Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey (EDHS) dataset were used and a total of 6,143 participants (female youth) were included. Multi-level mixed-effect logistic regression was done to identify individual and community-level factors. Adjusted odds ratio along with 95% confidence interval was used to show the strength and direction of the association. Finally, the level of statistical significance was declared at P value less than 0.05.Results: Individual-level factors significantly associated with early sexual initiation among female youth were; age group from 19-24 years [AOR=5.8, 95% CI= (4.6, 7.3)], not attending school [AOR=14.1, 95% CI= (8.1, 24.7)], ever chewing Chat [AOR= 2.0, 95% CI= (1.3, 3.0)]. From community-level factors: living in Addis Ababa [AOR= 0.3, 95% CI= (0.2, 0.5)], living in Gambella [AOR=2.7, 95% CI= (1.7, 4.3)] and live in a low proportion of poor communities [AOR= 0.7, 95% CI= (0.5, 0.9)] were significantly associated with early sexual initiation among female youth in Ethiopia.Conclusions: Age, low educational status, ever chewing Chat, region and live in a high proportion of poor community had a statistical association with early sexual initiation among female youth in Ethiopia. Improving educational coverage and community-level of wealth status are important intervention areas to delay the age of early sexual initiation.

“…Early sexual initiation has negative health, social and economic consequences for both the women and feature generation. It was a risk factor for sexually transmitted infections including HIV/AIDS [16][17][18][19], unsafe sexual practice [8,9,20], unwanted pregnancy [18,[21][22][23], mental problem and maternal death [16,18,24,25]. It also increased the risk of school dropout, poor school performance, stigma and discrimination [26][27][28].…”

“…These analyses examined the association between crash year and lawyer use in each of the three groups, controlling for crash type (single-or multivehicle), number of hospitalisation days (as a proxy for injury severity), gender, age, SES (IRSAD State Decile) [46] and remoteness (primary ARIA grouping) [47]. Year was modelled as a continuous variable in these analyses (this is a common practice: for some recent examples see [48][49][50][51][52]).…”

Trends in lawyer use in road traffic injury compensation claims

2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Injury compensation claimants use legal services to help them navigate compensation schemes, including accessing benefits and resolving disputes. Little is known, however, about the extent of lawyer use by compensation claimants, including changes over time. This paper presents findings from one of the largest empirical investigations of lawyer use in an injury compensation setting to date. Using evidence from more than 275,000 claims in the road traffic injury scheme in the state of Victoria, Australia, this study examines the prevalence of, and changes in, lawyer use between 2000 and 2015. The analysis identifies a significant increase in the use of lawyers in the scheme, and explores possible explanations. This study provides critical insights into lawyer use in compensation settings: the steep increase in lawyer involvement has both access to justice and financial implications for compensation schemes, given the associations between lawyer use, claimant outcomes, and long-term scheme viability.
