VACS=Violence Against Children and Youth Surveys.
The adjusted model for females controlled for age, educational attainment, marital status, orphan status, rural versus urban status, and previous pregnancy using logistic regression; the adjusted model for males controlled for age, educational attainment, marital status, orphan status, and rural versus urban status using logistic regression; the logistic regression was used to assess if changes in prevalence were significant after controlling for the important covariates.
β coefficients were generated using logistic regression, accounting for the complex survey design of the Kenya VACS.
