“…Nevertheless, numerous other studies suggest that, alongwith factors linked to a context of both gender inequalities and globally unfavorable social and economic conditions, adult sexual and reproductive health also depends on adverse personal experiences in childhood, especially CSA. Indeed, CSA has been found to be associated with reduced condom use (Maman, Campbell, Sweat, & Gielen, 2000;Molitor, Ruiz, Klausner, & McFarland, 2000), less contraceptive use (Heise, Ellsberg, & Gottmoeller, 2002), unintended pregnancy (Dietz et al, 1999Steel & Herlitz, 2005), abortion (Russo & Denious, 2001;Wingood & DiClemente, 1997) and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) (Hillis, Anda, Felitti, Nordenberg, & Marchbanks, 2000;Petrak, Byrne, & Baker, 2000).
