Evaluation of statistical regression models in predicting factors influencing HBV and HIV among female sex workers in Ghana: A Bio-behavioural survey
The Cox proportional hazards model proved highly effective in identifying the key risk factors for both HBV and HIV. Behavioral factors like alcohol use, social determinants such as stigma, and demographic variables such as age and education played significant roles in influencing infection risks. These findings highlight the need for tailored public health interventions that address alcohol-related behaviors, reduce stigma, and improve health literacy among FSWs.
