Abstract
⺠Women from drinking venues in a Cape Town township engaged in higher sexual risk behavior if they were abused by men. ⺠There was a significant indirect effect of gender-based violence on sexual risk behavior through alcohol use, but not mental health problems. ⺠There was no mediated relationship between alcohol use and sexual risk behavior through the experience of recent abuse or mental health problems.
