J Interpers Violence 2020 37 886260520936366 This study aims to quantify the prevalence of forced sex, pressured sex, and related pregnancy among adolescent girls and young women in five low- and middle-income countries. Nationally representative, cross-sectional household surveys were conducted in Haiti, Malawi, Nigeria, Zambia, and Uganda among girls and young women aged 13 to 24 years. A stratified three-stage cluster sample design was used. Respondents were interviewed to assess prevalence of sexual violence, pregnancy related to the first or most recent experience of forced or pressured sex, relationship to perpetrator, mean age at sexual debut, mean age at pregnancy related to forced or pressured sex, and prevalence of forced/coerced sexual debut. Frequencies, weighted percentages, and weighted means are presented. The lifetime prevalence of forced or pressured sex ranged from 10.4% to 18.0%. Among these adolescent girls and young women, the percentage who experienced pregnancy related to their first or most recent experience of forced or pressured sex ranged from 13.2% to 36.6%. In three countries, the most common perpetrator associated with the first pregnancy related to forced or pressured sex was a current or previous intimate partner. Mean age at pregnancy related to forced or pressured sex was similar to mean age at sexual debut in all countries. Preventing sexual violence against girls and young women will prevent a significant proportion of adverse effects on health, including unintended pregnancy. Implementation of strategies to prevent and respond to sexual violence against adolescent girls and young women is urgently needed. |
Maritime varicella illness and death reporting, U.S., 2010-2015
Rice ME , Bannerman M , Marin M , Lopez AS , Lewis MM , Stamatakis CE , Regan JJ . Travel Med Infect Dis 2018 23 27-33 BACKGROUND: Ships destined for, or departing from, U.S. ports of entry must report certain signs and symptoms of potentially communicable diseases of public health interest among travelers to the Division of Global Migration and Quarantine (DGMQ) at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. METHODS: We reviewed ships' varicella case and outbreak reports from January 2010 through December 2015. RESULTS: DGMQ received 967 reports of varicella and 13 reports of herpes zoster. Most varicella case-patients were 20-49 years of age (84.7%, 472/557) and were cruise ship crew members (78.4%, 758/967). Most often, cruise ship crew member case-patients were born in or held passports from Indonesia (21.7%, 80/369), Philippines (17.6%, 65/369), or India (17.3%, 64/369). Ninety-nine varicella outbreaks were reported, including 439 varicella cases and one herpes zoster case; 97 (98.0%) outbreaks occurred on cruise ships, and 90.2% of associated cases were among crew members (397/440). Most varicella cases were in crew members, who are adults often from tropical regions where varicella immunity is acquired later in childhood or young adulthood or without varicella vaccination programs. CONCLUSION: Varicella vaccination as appropriate for susceptible travelers, particularly crew members, before maritime travel may decrease risk of varicella infection and prevent outbreaks on ships. |
