Longitudinal trajectories of physical intimate partner violence among adolescent girls in rural South Africa: Findings from HPTN 068
Journal of Adolescent Health Feb 19, 2020
DeLong SM, Powers KA, Pence BW, et al. - As little is known among South African adolescent girls about temporal patterns of physical intimate partner violence (PIPV), researchers identified and described PIPV risk trajectories and related correlates in this population. Two trajectory groups (n = 907) were identified: a higher-risk group (~52.8% of the cohort) with predicted PIPV probabilities of 13.5%–41.1% over time and a lower-risk group (~47.2% of the cohort) with predicted probabilities of 2.3%–10.3%. A high proportion of adolescent girls reported persistent PIPV risk in rural South Africa, indicating a need for late primary school measures that encourage gender-equitable expectations, healthy relationships, and secure ways of earning income during adolescence.
