“…There was a significant decreasing association in three Bangladesh sites, Egypt and Ukraine (Koenig et al, 2003b;Bates et al, 2004;Yount, 2005;Dude, 2007) and a decreasing trend by socioeconomic group in India, Egypt and Cambodia (Kishor and Johnson, 2004;Yount and Carrera, 2006). Severe physical violence was significantly lower in high SES households compared with low SES in Mexico though there was no significant association between moderate physical violence and SES (Rivera-Rivera et al, 2004).…”

“…In Turkey, women who were housewives had significantly lower physical and sexual violence compared with other women. There were no significant associations between physical violence and earning an income in Haiti (Kishor and Johnson, 2004) or the Philippines (Hindin and Adair, 2002), with years in employment either during the partnership or prior to union in Mexico (Oropesa, 1997), with the woman's monthly income in India (Rao, 1997) or being employed in the Ukraine (Dude, 2007). There was also no significant association between physical and/or sexual violence and earning an income in Zambia or Cambodia (Kishor and Johnson, 2004) or with being employed and sexual violence in Lesotho (Brown et al, 2006).…”

“…Fifteen sites investigated the association between ever violence and asset wealth, with a significant protective association being found in five settings, including a significant decreasing trend association in India, the Philippines and Ukraine (Hindin and Adair, 2002;Kishor and Johnson, 2004;Dude, 2007). When compared to the poorest socioeconomic group, the highest asset quintile was associated with significantly lower physical violence in Egypt and in Peru (Kishor and Johnson, 2004).…”

Objectives: To identify whether individual and household economic empowerment is associated with lower intimate partner violence in low and middle income country settings. Methods: Systematic PubMed and internet searches. Results: Published data from 41 sites were reviewed. Household assets and women's higher education were generally protective. Evidence about women's involvement in income generation and experience of past year violence was mixed, with five finding a protective association and six documenting a risk association. Conclusion: At an individual and household level, economic development and poverty reduction may have protective impacts on IPV. Context specific factors influence whether financial autonomy is protective or associated with increased risk.

“…Studies have found that among women high-risk behaviours include having sex with 'highrisk' male partners (men who are living with HIV, who inject drugs or who are nonmonogamous); having multiple sexual partners; alcohol abuse; and trading sex for money, drugs and housing or other support (1,7,9,10,11). Women's age at first sexual intercourse has also been found to be associated with STI.…”

Objectives: To explore the relationship between past year physical or sexual partner violence against women and women's self-report of sexually transmitted infection (STI) symptoms in post-conflict Egypt; and to examine the effects of men's and women's risky sexual behavioural characteristics and structural dimensions of poverty and gender inequality on this relationship. Study design:This study uses the nationally representative cross-sectional demographic and health survey data conducted in 2014. Multivariate logistic regression was used to assess the relationship between past year partner violence and self-report of STI symptoms among currently married women. Main outcome measures:women's self-report of STI was based on their responses to three questions; whether in the past year they had: got a disease through sexual contact?, a genital sore or ulcer?, or a bad smelling abnormal genital discharge? Women who gave an affirmative response to one or more of these questions were assumed to self-report STI.Results: Almost one-third of women self-reported symptoms of STI. Fourteen percent of women reported they had experienced physical or sexual violence by a male partner in the past 12 months. Abused women had a 2.76 times higher odds of self-reported STI symptoms (95% CI 2.25-3.38). The significant relationship between self-reported STI and past year partner violence against women did not alter when adjusting for men's and women's behavioural characteristics and factors related to poverty and gender inequality. Conclusions:Public health interventions that address women's sexual and reproductive health need to consider violence response and prevention strategies.

“…This finding is of public health importance because forced sex may be associated with non-use of condoms (Dude, 2007). We suggest further exploration of this phenomenon among both males and females in the intervention.…”

A cross-sectional study was conducted among first-year university students in Malawi to determine distributions of HIV/AIDSrelated knowledge, and sexual behaviours. A total of 314 (199 male and 115 female) students were eligible to participate, and of these 221 (70.4%) participated in the survey. Generally, levels of HIV/AIDS-related knowledge were similar between sexes. Overall, 68.9% of students of both sexes felt that they knew enough about HIV/AIDS. Altogether, 83.3% of students reported that they knew where to access HIV testing on campus, but only 19.0% reported that they knew their HIV status. Some 60.3% of students who had never been tested intended to have an HIV test. A history of having ever been tested was not associated with sex. Most (68.4%) students felt that they were not at risk of acquiring HIV infection. Overall, 66.8% of students knew where to get a condom on campus, and 38.7% stated that they knew exactly how to use it. About half (52.6%) of the students used a condom at last vaginal sexual intercourse. Having multiple sex partners in the last 12 months was reported by 40.4% of students.Keywords: University students, HIV/AIDS-related knowledge, sexual behaviours, Malawi. RésuméUne étude transversale a été réalisée parmi les étudiants de première année en université au Malawi pour déterminer la distribution des connaissances relatives au VIH/SIDA et les comportements sexuels. Au total, 314 étudiants (199 hommes et 115 femmes) ont été sélectionnés pour y participer. Un total de 221 (70.4 %) sur les 314 étudiants éligibles a participé à l' étude. Généralement, les niveaux de connaissances relatives au VIH/SIDA étaient similaires selon les sexes. Dans l' ensemble, 68.9% des étudiants des deux sexes pensaient en savoir suffisamment sur le VIH/SIDA. En tout, 83.3% des étudiants ont rapporté qu'ils savaient où accéder à un test de dépistage sur le campus et seulement 19.0% des étudiants ont rapporté connaître leur état sérologique. Quelques 60.3% des étudiants qui n'avaient jamais été testés ont essayé de passer un test de dépistage du VIH. Le fait de n'avoir été jamais testé n' était pas associé aux rapports sexuels. La majorité (68.4%) des étudiants pensait ne pas courir le risque d'une infection par le VIH. Dans l' ensemble, 66.8% des étudiants savaient où aller pour se procurer un préservatif sur le campus, et 38.7% des étudiants ont déclaré savoir exactement comment s' en servir. Environ la moitié (52.6%) des étudiants a utilisé un préservatif au cours du dernier rapport sexuel vaginal. Le fait d'avoir eu plusieurs partenaires sexuels au cours des 12 derniers mois a été rapporté par 40.4% des étudiants.
