To determine the prevalence and associated factors of female genital mutilation (FGM) among daughters of women aged 15-49 in Somalia using data from the 2020 Somaliland Demographic and Health Survey (SDHS).
A cross-sectional study utilizing data from the 2020 SDHS.
Data was collected across Somalia, including urban, rural, and nomadic areas.
FGM prevalence was presented as percentages. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify associated factors, presented as odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals.
The prevalence of FGM among daughters was 24%. Factors significantly associated with FGM included age, region, residence, education, and wealth index. Younger daughters were more likely to be circumcised (p=0.000, 95% CI: 0.066-0.274). Rural residence increased the likelihood of FGM (OR=1.436, CI=1.257-1.64). Primary education increased the odds of FGM (OR=1.334, CI=1.127-1.58). Mothers who believed FGM should continue were more likely to have circumcised daughters (OR=1.464, CI=1.305-1.642).
FGM prevalence among daughters in Somalia is influenced by age, region, rural residency, and education. The findings highlight the need for targeted educational and intervention programs, particularly in rural areas, to effectively reduce FGM practices.
利用2020年索马里兰人口与健康调查(SDHS)的数据,确定索马里15至49岁女性的女儿中女性生殖器切割(FGM)的流行率及相关因素。
一项利用2020年SDHS数据的横断面研究。
数据收集于索马里各地,包括城市、农村和游牧地区。
FGM流行率以百分比表示。采用逻辑回归分析确定相关因素,以比值比及95%置信区间表示。
女儿中FGM的流行率为24%。与FGM显著相关的因素包括年龄、地区、居住地、教育程度和财富指数。年龄较小的女儿接受切割的可能性更高(p = 0.000,95% CI:0.066 - 0.274)。农村居住增加了FGM的可能性(OR = 1.436,CI = 1.257 - 1.64)。小学教育增加了FGM的几率(OR = 1.334,CI = 1.127 - 1.58)。认为FGM应继续存在的母亲更有可能让女儿接受切割(OR = 1.464,CI = 1.305 - 1.642)。
索马里女儿中FGM的流行率受年龄、地区、农村居住情况和教育程度的影响。研究结果凸显了有针对性的教育和干预项目的必要性,特别是在农村地区,以有效减少FGM行为。
