We used national household surveys from 36 low- and-middle-income countries to provide evidence on the prevalence of violence against 34,901 adolescents age 15 to 17 and logistic regression analysis to measure the association between socioeconomic status and past-year violence against adolescents. Among the sample population, prevalence of physical violence by nonpartners was 10.4% and by partners was 2.8%. Prevalence of sexual violence by nonpartners was 1.8% and by partners was 1.2%. Logistic regression analysis adjusted for country of residence, and demographic characteristics indicated that completing primary school was associated with higher likelihood of physical violence by nonpartner (odds ratio [OR] = 1.13, confidence interval [CI] [1.03, 1.24]) and lower likelihoods of sexual violence by nonpartner (OR = 0.66, CI [0.53, 0.83]), physical violence by partner (OR = 0.59, CI [0.49, 0.70]), and sexual violence by partner (OR = 0.48, CI [0.36, 0.63]). Total consumer durables owned was associated with reduced likelihoods of physical violence by nonpartner (OR = 0.96, CI [0.94, 0.98]), by partner (OR = 0.88, CI [0.84, 0.93]), and sexual violence by partner (OR = 0.91, CI [0.85, 0.99]). Overall, violence against adolescents as reported in the past-year experience of females age 15 to 17 is common. Primary school completion and household wealth may convey protective benefits against violence.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0886260518792971","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,8,27]],"date-time":"2018-08-27T05:12:44Z","timestamp":1535346764000},"page":"NP4964-NP4978","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Violence Against Female Adolescents in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: Evidence From 36 National Household Surveys"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"36","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2632-704X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nicholas L.","family":"Wilson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Office of Evaluation Sciences, Washington, DC, USA"},{"name":"Reed College, Portland, OR, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,8,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0886260518792971","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ije\/dyq168"},{"key":"bibr2-0886260518792971","first-page":"25","volume":"8","author":"Antai D.","year":"2016","journal-title":"Journal of Injury and Violence Research"},{"key":"bibr3-0886260518792971","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"10","DOI":"10.4088\/JCP.v65n0103","volume":"65","author":"Arnow B.
