Assessing factors influencing adolescent sexual debut in Nigeria: a multi-cluster survival analysis approach by Fabio Mathias Correa, Peter Enesi Omaku, Joseph Odunayo Braimah, Joseph Odunayo Braimah

“…IntroductionEarly sexual debut is an area of concern in Nigeria with implications for reproductive health.MethodsThis study addresses this by proposing a more effective survival model—one that incorporates both independent and identically distributed (IID) and Besag intrinsically conditional auto-regressive (ICAR) random effect priors, using a generalised additive model that accounts for both individual and spatial influences on age at first sex. We analyse data from the 2018 Nigerian NDHS survey and compare our model with existing models: a model without the cluster frailty effect, a model that ignores the Besag ICAR and includes the IID, and a model that ignores the IID and includes only the Besag ICAR.ResultsOur approach, which combines independent and spatial random effects, outperforms others based on statistical criteria (Deviation Information Criterion and the Widely Applicable Information Criterion).DiscussionAs shown in this study, the proposed model effectively captures the complexity of age at first sex. …”
