Girls were recruited from schools and worksites where partner violence has been reported in high proportions. Data were analysed using conceptual content analyses and independently coded by two researchers.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Adolescent girls reported keeping their relationships secret from their parents. While girls reported that sometimes relationships were out of love, relationships were also often motivated by girls' financial need. The financial and secretive nature of these relationships appeared to place girls at risk for intimate partner violence, with sexual coercion, resulting in multiple adverse social and health outcomes, including sexually transmitted infections and unintended pregnancy. Girls reported that leaving an abusive relationship is especially difficult when girls rely financially, were sexually involved, pregnant, or have had a child with the male partner. Friends\/peers, rather than girls\u2019 family, were often the source of support for intimate partner violence.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Early identification of unhealthy relationships and supporting girls to be financially independent appear to be critical to reduce vulnerability to violence. Peer\u2010based interventions may be most appropriate, given that girls\u2019 friends, rather than parents, were most often the source of support for intimate partner violence and other relationship challenges.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.adolescence.2021.01.002","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,26]],"date-time":"2021-01-26T03:45:44Z","timestamp":1611632744000},"page":"74-85","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/elsevier_cm_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Relationship dynamics with male partners among girls in low\u2010income communities of Ibadan, Nigeria: Risk for violence and health related consequences"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"87","author":[{"given":"Olufunmilayo I.","family":"Fawole","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology and Medical Statistics Faculty of Public Health College of Medicine University of Ibadan Ibadan Nigeria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Omowumi O.","family":"Okedare","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology and Medical Statistics Faculty of Public Health College of Medicine University of Ibadan Ibadan Nigeria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mobolaji M.","family":"Salawu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology and Medical Statistics Faculty of Public Health College of Medicine University of Ibadan Ibadan Nigeria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Susan M.","family":"Kiene","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Epidemiology and Biostatistics School of Public Health San Diego State University USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Elizabeth","family":"Reed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Health Promotion and Behavioral Science School of Public Health San Diego State University USA"},{"name":"Center on Gender Equity and Health University of California San Diego Division of Infectious Disease and Global Public Health 9500 Gilman Dr. La Jolla CA 92093 USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12889\u2013019\u20137310\u20133"},{"issue":"128","key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","article-title":"Community\u2010level influences on women's experience of intimate partner violence and terminated pregnancy in Nigeria: A multilevel analysis","volume":"12","author":"Antai D.","year":"2012","journal-title":"BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1363\/4018414"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_1","volume-title":"National Center for Injury prevention and control","author":"Black M.C.","year":"2010"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jadohealth.2012.03.002"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_7_1","unstructured":"S.Chant M.Klett\u2010davies J.Ramalho.Challenges and potential solutions for adolescent girls in urban settings: A rapid evidence review.2017;Gender and Adolescence: Global Evidence:London"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.worlddev.2017.02.027"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jomf.12016"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.2012\u20131029"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2307\/3583462"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_12_1","unstructured":"Federal Republic of Nigeria.Child's right act.2003"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140\u20136736(06)69523\u20138"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/16549716.2017.1290427"},{"issue":"5","key":"e_1_2_9_15_1","first-page":"500","article-title":"Standardized patients to teach medical students about intimate partner violence","author":"Heron S.L.","year":"2010","journal-title":"Western Journal of Emergency Medicine"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2307\/3583257"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0230085"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jia2.25043"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_19_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1196\/annals.1425.013"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_20_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.29063\/ajrh2016\/v20i4.7"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_21_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10995\u2013009\u20130520\u2010z"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_22_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ambp.2007.05.007"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_23_1","unstructured":"NPC ICF.Nigeria demographic health survey 2018.
