Zusammenfassung
Background: Sexual violence is a public health issue among adolescents globally but remains understudied in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Objective: The present study focused on the association of cumulative exposure to different types of sexual violence with mental and physical health problems and prosocial behaviour.
Method: We conducted a survey with a regionally representative sample of both in-school and out-of-school adolescents, aged 13–17 years, living in south-western Nigeria. Self-reported exposure to sexual violence, behavioural problems, physical complaints, and prosocial behaviour were assessed.
Results: About three quarters of the participants reported the experience of sexual violence (74.6%). Multiple regression models revealed that the more types of sexual violence an individual reported, the more mental and physical health problems, and the fewer prosocial behaviours they reported when controlling for other forms of violence exposure. Latent class analysis revealed three severity classes of sexual violence. Symptoms of mental and physical health indicators were significantly higher as exposure increased by group whereas prosocial behaviours were non-significantly fewer in the opposite direction.
Conclusion: This study revealed a consistent and unique relation between sexual violence exposure and negative health outcomes among adolescents. Further research on sexual violence in Sub-Saharan Africa and its associations is needed.

Antecedentes: La violencia sexual es un problema de salud pública entre los adolescentes a nivel mundial, pero aún no se ha estudiado lo suficiente en el África subsahariana.
Objetivo: El presente estudio se centró en la asociación de la exposición acumulativa a diferentes tipos de violencia sexual con problemas de salud física y mental y conducta prosocial.
Método: Realizamos una encuesta con una muestra regionalmente representativa de adolescentes escolarizados y no escolarizados, de entre 13 y 17 años, que viven en el suroeste de Nigeria. Se evaluó la exposición autoinformada a violencia sexual, problemas de conducta, quejas físicas y comportamiento prosocial.
Resultados: Alrededor de tres cuartas partes de los participantes informaron experiencias de violencia sexual (74,6%). La regresión múltiple reveló que cuantos más tipos de violencia sexual reportaba un individuo, más problemas de salud física y mental, y menos conductas prosociales reportaba cuando se controló para otras formas de exposición a la violencia. El análisis de clases latentes reveló tres clases de gravedad de la violencia sexual. Los síntomas de los indicadores de salud física y mental fueron significativamente mayores a medida que aumentaba la exposición por grupo, mientras que los comportamientos prosociales no fueron significativamente menores en la dirección opuesta.
Conclusión: Este estudio reveló una relación consistente y única entre exposición a violencia sexual y resultados negativos de salud entre los adolescentes. Es necesario realizar más investigaciones sobre violencia sexual en el África subsahariana y sus asociaciones.
