SEXUAL ACTIVITY AMONG JUNIOR SECONDARY SCHOOL GIRLS IN ZAMBIA
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 April 2001
Abstract
This paper proposes a causal model of sexual activity among a randomly selected sample of 305 Junior secondary school girls in Zambia. The results indicate that liberal sexual attitudes influence romantic involvement with boys. Emotional involvement is likely to result in sexual activity. Traditional courtship forms are slowly being replaced by modern patterns of courtship behaviour. Policy and programme implications are discussed.
