The determinants and impacts of age-disparate relationships on women in Zimbabwe: A life course perspective

Age-disparate relationships (ADR) with older men have been studied mostly in the context of HIV and found to be associated with increased HIV prevalence among young women in sub-Saharan Africa. Less is known about the impact of ADR on the broader life course of women. The objectives of this study ar...
