Young people growing up in urban slums are exposed to adverse childhood experiences, violence, and other adversities.

Mental health was measured using the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ 9).

After adjusting for the effects of socio-demographic factors, exposure to physical violence (AOR\u2009=\u20092.926, 95% CI 2.175\u20133.936), sexual violence (AOR\u2009=\u20092.519, 95% CI 1.637\u20133.875), perception of neighborhood safety (AOR\u2009=\u20091.533, 95% CI 1.159\u20132.028) and experience of adverse life events (AOR\u2009=\u20091.326, 95% CI 1.002\u20131.753) were significantly associated with self-reported depression. The presence of social support moderated the relationship between violence and mental health by reducing the strength of the association between violence and mental health in this setting.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Given the magnitude of violence victimisation, adverse life events and depressive symptoms, there is a need to design interventions that reduce exposure to violence and provide psychosocial support to adolescents exposed to adverse events in urban slums in Nairobi.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12905-022-01735-9","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,10]],"date-time":"2022-05-10T12:06:48Z","timestamp":1652184408000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":26,"title":["Exposure to violence, adverse life events and the mental health of adolescent girls in Nairobi slums"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"22","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7200-6116","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yohannes Dibaba","family":"Wado","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Karen","family":"Austrian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Benta A.","family":"Abuya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Beth","family":"Kangwana","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nicole","family":"Maddox","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Caroline W.","family":"Kabiru","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"1735_CR1","unstructured":"WHO.
