Breaking barriers: predictors of condom use negotiation among adolescent girls and young women in Mozambique.
Article in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundEffective condom use negotiation is crucial for reducing HIV risk and unintended pregnancies. While studies have emphasized condom use, they often overlook the negotiation process, a critical factor in mitigating sexual health risks. This study examines factors influencing condom use negotiation among adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) in Mozambique.
methodsData from the 2022-23 Mozambique Demographic and Health Survey (MZDHS) were analyzed, focusing on 2,624 AGYW aged 15-24. Condom use negotiation, defined as the ability to ask a partner to use a condom, was treated as a binary variable. Ten independent variables measured as binary, nominal, or ordinal were included: age, education, residence, wealth status, religion, early sexual debut, adolescent motherhood, multiple sexual partners, HIV testing, and inequitable gender attitudes. Multivariable logistic regression identified the predictors of condom use negotiation, with interaction terms assessing whether gender attitudes and condom negotiation varied by age. Average marginal effects were calculated to evaluate the impact of these factors.
resultsOnly 35.11% of AGYW reported the ability to negotiate condom use. Multivariate analysis showed that AGYW with secondary or higher education (adjusted Odds ratio [aOR] = 2.17, 95% Confidence Intervals [CI] = 1.48-3.17; p < 0.001) and those from rich households wealth index (aOR = 2.51, 95% CI = 1.81-3.48; p < 0.001) were more likely to negotiate. HIV testing was also associated with higher odds of condom use negotiation (aOR = 1.39, 95% CI = 1.01-1.91; p = 0.043). Conversely, inequitable gender attitudes reduced the likelihood of condom use negotiation (aOR = 0.62, 95% CI = 0.46-0.83; p = 0.001). AGYW aged 15-19 with inequitable attitudes had the lowest predicted probability of condom use negotiation (31%).
conclusionFindings emphasize the role of education, wealth, gender attitudes, and HIV testing in enhancing condom use negotiation among AGYW in Mozambique. Public health initiatives should address these factors to strengthen negotiation skills and support HIV prevention efforts.
