Geographically weighted regression analysis to assess hotspots of early sexual initiation and associated factors in Ethiopia

20244 citationsOpen accessGondar University

Abstract

A higher proportion of ESI in women was found. Public health interventions must be made by targeting hotspot areas of ESI through increasing health care access and education (specifically among rural residents), developing a comprehensive sexual education, implementing policies and laws that outlaw early marriage, and mass community-based programs to increase awareness about the importance of delaying sexual activity.
