Case-controlled study on relevant factors of adolescent sexual coercion in China.
This was a case-controlled study to determine factors related to sexual coercion among adolescent abortion seekers in China. We considered the abortion-seeking women who had experienced sexual coercion as the case group and the abortion-seeking women who had never experienced sexual coercion as the control group. The results of the study indicated that the factors more likely to be related to sexual coercion include lower educational level [odds ratio (OR) = 1.55], not living with parents (OR) = 1.57, floating population (OR = 1.63), beaten by her partner (OR = 2.87), abused by her partner (OR = 1.84), multiple partners (OR = 2.10), sex after excessive drinking (OR = 5.02), younger age at first intercourse (OR = 1.68), and large difference in age between men and women (OR = 2.02). The relevant factors most likely to be associated with sexual coercion are poorly educated, not living with parents, floating population, multiple partners, younger age at first sex, and inequality between men and women.
