  • The Group‐Related Collective Agency Scales ( GCAS ‐23 and GCAS ‐12)—Full and Short Form Scales for Construct Measurement

    Open AccessMaryann G Delea, Sheela Sinharoy et al.ARTICLEJournal of Community & Applied…2025Referências: 8

    Collective agency refers to a group's perceived ability to come together, establish common goals or shared interests and take action to attain those goals/interests. Given the absence of rigorously developed scales available to measure the social construct, the aim of this study was to clarify the conceptualization of collective agency and to identify both long and short scales that actors can employ to measure collective agency. Using a rigorous…

  • Validity of a common measure of intimate partner violence perpetration

    Open AccessCory J Clark, Irina Bergenfeld et al.ARTICLESSM - Population Health2024

    Common measures of physical and sexual IPV perpetration cannot be used for valid effect estimation without further refinement. The study highlights the need for an expanded item set, content validity assessments, further measurement invariance testing, and then consistent use of the item sets in future intervention trials to support accurate inference on the effectiveness of IPV perpetration prevention interventions

  • Collateral effects of Covid-19 stay-at-home orders on violence against women in the United States, January 2019 to December 2020

    Open AccessPatricia Lewis, Patricia C Lewis et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2024

    The benefits of risk-mitigation strategies to reduce the health impacts directly associated with a pandemic should be weighed against their costs with respect to women's heightened exposure to certain forms of violence and the potentially cascading impacts of such exposure on health. The effects of COVID-19 NPRM strategies on IPV risk nationally and its immediate and long-term health sequelae should be studied, with stressors like ongoing pandemi…

  • Qualitative endline results of the tipping point project to prevent child, early and forced marriage in Nepal

    Open AccessCory J Clark, Kayla Jashinsky et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2023

    Currently, Nepal is not on track to meet Sustainable Development Goal 5.3 - the elimination of harmful practices, including child, early and forced marriage by the year 2030. Evidence on what works to prevent child, early and forced marriage often is inattentive to contextual factors that influence intervention effectiveness. This study presents qualitative results of a mixed-methods evaluation of CARE's Tipping Point Program to prevent child, ea…

  • The Time-Use Agency Scale

    Sheela Sinharoy, Yuk Fai Cheong et al.ARTICLEFeminist Economics2023Citada por: 1Referências: 22

    Global health and development interventions often are predicated on the reallocation of women's time for the achievement of program objectives; yet research and programs have paid limited attention to women's preferences for and agency over their time use. This study aims to develop and validate an instrument to measure time-use agency. It follows a sequenced approach involving qualitative and quantitative research, with exploratory and confirmat…

  • Childhood maltreatment class and sexually violent behavior among university men in Vietnam

    Open AccessKatherine M Anderson, Irina Bergenfeld et al.ARTICLESSM - Population Health2022

    There is a vital need for screening and intervention with men who have experienced childhood maltreatment in Vietnam to prevent future violence perpetration. Education is needed to break the cycle of violence intergenerationally and in romantic relationships by changing harmful norms around men's sexual privilege and the normalization of childhood maltreatment

  • Global measurement of intimate partner violence to monitor Sustainable Development Goal 5

    Open AccessKathryn M Yount, Yuk Fai Cheong et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2022

    Seven DHS lifetime physical-IPV items and five DHS controlling-behaviour items were approximately invariant across 36 LMICs spanning five world regions, such that cross-national comparisons of factor means are reasonable. Measurement-invariance testing over time will inform their utility to monitor SDG5.2.1; cross-national, cross-time measurement-invariance testing of improved sexual and psychological IPV item-sets is needed

  • Theoretical mediators of GlobalConsent

    Open AccessKathryn M Yount, Irina Bergenfeld et al.ARTICLESocial Science & Medicine2022Citada por: 1Referências: 41

    Sexual violence remains a global problem that disproportionately affects women. Though sexual violence interventions exist, few have been implemented in low- or middle-income countries, and none in Vietnam for young men. We adapted a sexual violence prevention intervention (RealConsent) developed for college men in the U.S. and conducted a randomized controlled trial of the adapted intervention (GlobalConsent) with college men in Vietnam. We asse…

  • Women’s experiences of economic coercion and depressive symptoms in Matlab, Bangladesh

    Open AccessZara Khan, Yuk Fai Cheong et al.ARTICLESSM - Population Health2020

    Prior studies of the association between intimate partner violence (IPV) and depressive symptoms have typically excluded economic coercion (EC), a prevalent form of IPV worldwide. Here, we used structural equation models (SEM) to estimate the association of EC with depressive symptoms, with and without adjustment for physical/psychological/sexual IPV, among women in rural Matlab, Bangladesh. Data were collected from cross-sectional surveys with m…

  • Community Influences on Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting

    Open AccessSarah R Hayford, Sarah Garver et al.ARTICLEStudies in Family Planning2020Citada por: 1Referências: 47

    Despite long‐term efforts to encourage abandonment of female genital mutilation/cutting (FGMC), the practice remains widespread globally. FGMC is situated in specific social and historical contexts, and both prevalence and rates of decline vary widely across practicing countries. However, cross‐national comparative research on the determinants of FGMC is sparse. This paper adds to the limited body of rigorous, theoretically grounded quantitative …

  • Intimate partner violence in Nepal

    Open AccessCory J Clark, Yuk Fai Cheong et al.ARTICLESSM - Population Health2019

    Existing data suggest that there are distinct patterns (or classes) of intimate partner violence (IPV) experience that depart from dichotomous categorizations used to monitor progress toward Sustainable Development Goal 5.2. Less is known about the patterning of IPV in non-Western settings. This study estimates distinct classes of IPV experience in Nepal and examines potential community-level variability in these classes and in the association be…

  • Gender equality in global health leadership

    Open AccessKathryn M Yount, Yuk Fai Cheong et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2019

    Women comprise two-thirds of the global-health (GH) workforce but are underrepresented in leadership. GH departments are platforms to advance gender equality in GH leadership. Using a survey of graduates from one GH department, we compared women's and men's post-training career agency and GH employment and assessed whether gender gaps in training accounted for gender gaps in career outcomes. Master-of-Public-Health (MPH) and mid-career-fellow alu…

  • Measurement properties of the project-level Women's Empowerment in Agriculture Index

    Open AccessKathryn M Yount, Yuk Fai Cheong et al.ARTICLEWorld Development2019Citada por: 10Referências: 16

    Women's empowerment is a process that includes increases in intrinsic agency (power within); instrumental agency (power to); and collective agency (power with). We used baseline data from two studies-Targeting and Realigning Agriculture for Improved Nutrition (TRAIN) in Bangladesh and Building Resilience in Burkina Faso (BRB)-to assess the measurement properties of survey questions operationalizing selected dimensions of intrinsic, instrumental, …

  • Community Influences on Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting in Kenya

    Open AccessRose Grace Grose, Sarah R Hayford et al.ARTICLEJournal of Health and Social…2019Citada por: 6Referências: 46

    Female genital mutilation/cutting (FGMC) is a human rights violation with adverse health consequences. Although prevalence is declining, the practice persists in many countries, and the individual and contextual risk factors associated with FGMC remain poorly understood. We propose an integrated theory about contextual factors and test it using multilevel discrete-time hazard models in a nationally representative sample of 7,535 women with daught…

  • Gender-Equitable Parental Decision Making and Intimate Partner Violence Perpetration in Bangladesh

    Open AccessD C Semenza, Katherine A Roof et al.ARTICLEJournal of Marriage and the Family2019Referências: 62

    ObjectiveThis article examines the relationship between the exposure of men as children to gender-equitable parental decision making and the potential for subsequent later life engagement in intimate partner violence (IPV) in Bangladesh.BackgroundAlthough researchers have recently begun to explore multilevel influences on IPV perpetration, no studies have examined how decision making between parents at home and within the community relates to IPV…

  • Multilevel influences on depressive symptoms among men in Bangladesh

    Open AccessLaurie James-Hawkins, Ruchira T Naved et al.ARTICLEPsychology of Men & Masculinity2018Citada por: 1Referências: 19

    Depression is a worldwide problem, and is especially prevalent in lower-income countries with insufficient resources and widespread poverty, such as Bangladesh. Yet multilevel determinants of depressive symptoms in men have not been studied in this context. We leverage a novel dataset from men in Bangladesh to determine the community- and individual-level influences of masculine dominance strain and financial strain on the frequency of married me…

  • Social norms and women's risk of intimate partner violence in Nepal

    Open AccessCory J Clark, Gemma Ferguson et al.ARTICLESocial Science & Medicine2018Citada por: 13Referências: 35

    Social norms increasingly are the focus of intimate partner violence (IPV) prevention strategies but are among the least examined contextual factors in quantitative violence research. This study assesses the within-community, between-community, and contextual effect of a new measure of social norms (PVNS: Partner Violence Norms Scale) on women's risk of IPV. Data come from baseline surveys collected from 1435 female, married, reproductive-age par…
