The number of questionnaires included in the analysis was 3,518 in Bolivia and 2,401 in Ecuador.
A factorial analysis of AWSA resulted in three factors: power dimension (PD), equality dimension (ED)
and behavioural dimension (BD). ED showed the highest correlates with adolescent sexual behaviour. Higher
scores of this dimension were associated with a more positive experience of sexual relationships, a higher
current use of modern contraception and greater sexual activity among girls.
