I have learned a lot by conducting this research and writing and publishing this article. Through the research process, I have deepened my understanding of the complexities of sexual violence among adolescents, its associated factors, and its impact on mental health and substance use. I have gained extensive knowledge in epidemiological methods, particularly in designing cross-sectional studies, handling large datasets, and applying statistical models such as Poisson regression. Additionally, I have developed a critical perspective on gender-sensitive public health policies and the importance of addressing social determinants of health.
