Age at first sex and other determinants of multiple sexual partnerships among sexually active adolescent girls in Ghana: a regression analysis of the 2022 Ghana demographic and health survey
The study findings show that early sexual debut, living in female headed household, and consuming alcohol are strong predictors of multiple sexual partnerships among adolescent girls in Ghana. It suggests the need for policies promoting delayed sexual debut and empowering adolescents to make informed decisions to improve sexual health outcomes.
