The problem
Intervention: This is an observational study, not an intervention evaluation
Who it was tested with: 18–24-year-old youth (622 females, 395 males) living in refugee settlements across all 13 refugee settlements in Uganda.
Experience from people who deliver programmes: stories, case studies and lessons learned. Valuable for understanding how and why, and for spotting what to test next, but not a measure of effect.
"Statistical associations between exposure to physical, sexual, or emotional violence, witnessing physical violence in the home or in the community and engaging in risky sexual behaviors... were examined using chi-square tests, and logistic regression. Analyses were conducted separately for males and females." This quasi-experimental design with stratified analysis allows examination of associations between violence exposure and outcomes, though the cross-sectional nature means the direction and causality of effects cannot be conclusively determined.
Cross-sectional design prevents establishment of causality; data on violence exposure and sexual behaviours collected simultaneously from youth aged 18–24, so cannot confirm temporal sequence; does not assess all potential confounding variables; relies on self-report.
