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.
本文呈现了 SASA!（在斯瓦希里语中意为“现在”）研究的基线数据，这是一项在乌干达坎帕拉开展的社区动员干预措施的整群随机试验，旨在预防针对妇女的暴力行为和艾滋病毒/艾滋病。本研究使用逻辑回归分析探讨了 1206 名曾有伴侣的男女（18-49 岁）中，亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）与性风险行为之间的关联。27%的女性报告过去一年经历过身体和/或性 IPV。女性经历和男性实施 IPV 与性风险行为密切相关。研究结果证实了 SASA!干预措施在这一环境中的重要性，并支持针对 IPV 和艾滋病毒预防的综合策略。
