Abstract

COVID-19 containment measures have left adolescent girls in Nairobi, Kenya vulnerable to negative educational, economic, and secondary health outcomes that threaten their safe transitions into adulthood. In June 2020, the Population Council conducted phone-based surveys with 856 girls aged between 10 and 19 in 5 informal settlements who had been surveyed prior to COVID-19 as part of five longitudinal studies. We performed bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses to assess the relationship between COVID-19 outcomes and potential protective or risk factors. We found that younger girls are experiencing high levels of food insecurity and difficulty learning from home during school closures, while many older girls face the immediate risk of dropping out of school permanently and have been forgoing needed health services.

疫情前对2019冠状病毒病期间肯尼亚女孩向成年过渡的影响

2019冠状病毒病的遏制措施使肯尼亚内罗毕的少女容易受到负面的教育、经济和二级健康结果的影响，威胁到她们安全过渡到成年。2020年6月，人口理事会对5个非正式定居点的856名年龄在10至19岁之间的女孩进行了电话调查，这些女孩在2019冠状病毒病之前接受了调查，这是五项纵向研究的一部分。我们进行了双变量和多变量logistic回归分析，以评估COVID-19结局与潜在保护或危险因素之间的关系。我们发现，在学校关闭期间，较年轻的女孩面临着严重的粮食不安全状况和在家学习的困难，而许多年龄较大的女孩面临着永久辍学的直接风险，并且已经放弃了所需的卫生服务。
