Postpartum integration of infant vaccines and contraception through gender transformative programming
Barriers to using contraception in India include norms that promote gender inequality by restricting mobility of women to reach health clinics. We evaluated whether PIVoT (Postpartum Integration of Vaccines and contraception through gender-Transformative programming) improves contraceptive use while enhancing autonomy in contraceptive decision-making. PIVoT delivers the full spectrum of contraceptive methods available along with gender-transforma…
Examining the association between structural-level patriarchy and intimate partner violence
Traditional or Modern Contraception? Association Between Health Worker Contact and Contraceptive Choice in India
Despite greater availability and affordability of modern contraception, the use of traditional contraception is rising in India. We examined the relationship between Indian women's contact with a community health worker (CHW) and discussion of family planning (FP) with their contraceptive use. We analyzed data from 306,037 nonpregnant, non‐sterilized married women in the 2019–2021 National Family Health Survey (NFHS). Multinomial regression model…
Health effects associated with exposure of children to physical violence, psychological violence and neglect
The health toll of child maltreatment or violence against children (VAC) has not yet been comprehensively evaluated. Here, in our systematic review and meta-analyses, we focused on the health impacts of physical violence, psychological violence and neglect during childhood. Utilizing the Burden of Proof methodology, which generates conservative measures of association while accounting for heterogeneity between input studies, we evaluated 35 assoc…
The health effects associated with physical, sexual and psychological gender-based violence against men and women
The health impacts of exposure to physical, sexual or psychological gender-based violence (GBV) against men and women are substantial yet not well delineated. We systematically reviewed and meta-analysed 40 studies to evaluate the associations between GBV (including but not limited to intimate partner violence) and eight health outcomes: sexually transmitted infections excluding HIV, maternal abortion and miscarriage, HIV/AIDS, major depressive d…
Quantifying the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on gender equality on health, social, and economic indicators
BACKGROUND: Gender is emerging as a significant factor in the social, economic, and health effects of COVID-19. However, most existing studies have focused on its direct impact on health. Here, we aimed to explore the indirect effects of COVID-19 on gender disparities globally. METHODS: We reviewed publicly available datasets with information on indicators related to vaccine hesitancy and uptake, health care services, economic and work-related co…
Economic Benefits of Empowering Women in Agriculture
Systematic reviews and meta-analyses generally focus on intervention impacts or outcomes. Less common, however, are reviews of the assumptions and theory underlying the pathways between intervention and outcome. We consider the hypothetical case for interventions to empower female farmers, either by prioritising women for new investments or re-allocating existing resources. Empowerment is defined as increased women’s decision-making authority rel…
