    Author: Francisco L, Abramsky T, Kiss L, Michau L, Musuya T, Kerrigan D, Kaye D, Watts C.
    Journal: Violence Against Women; 2013 Jul; 19(7):814-32. PubMed ID: 23955928.
    Abstract:
    This article presents baseline data from the SASA! (this is the Swahili for 'now') Study, a cluster randomized trial of a community-mobilization intervention to prevent violence against women and HIV/AIDS in Kampala, Uganda. Logistic regression was used to explore associations between intimate partner violence (IPV) and sexual risk behaviors, among 1,206 ever-partnered men and women (18-49 years). Twenty-seven percent of women reported past-year experience of physical and/or sexual IPV. Female experience and male perpetration of IPV were strongly associated with sexual risk behaviors. Findings confirm the importance of the SASA! intervention in this setting and endorse integrated strategies for IPV and HIV prevention.
