项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Gender-based violence, has received increasing attention among researchers and international organizations. The adverse public health effects of gender-based violence include increased exposure to sexually transmitted infections (STIs), gynecological fistula, unwanted pregnancy, psychological sequelae, chronic pain, physical disability, and depression and substance abuse. Additionally, there are negative social and economic impacts, including costs of medical treatment and lost worker productivity, of gender-based violence on survivors and their families. Stakeholders including policymakers and community organizations often seek to estimate the prevalence of sexual and intimate partner violence in an effort to garner support to address it or to more accurately tailor interventions. Prevalence of gender based violence is often estimated, but many existing estimates have severe limitations. Furthermore, the effects of questionnaire design on reporting of sexual violence have not been tested in developing countries or post-conflict settings as has been done in developed countries. A two-part study will be conducted to address these issues. In the first part we will analyze recent data from 23 countries using Demographic and Health Surveys, and in the second part we analyze new data from an original, randomized-design survey in Uganda. The aims of our study are to (1) quantify bounds for underestimation in existing estimates of gender-based violence, including sexual violence in conflict, based on police reports and medical facility-based studies; (2) depict how women who report to medical, legal and social institutions after experiencing violence differ from women who do not seek care or report to better understand which groups are more likely to be included in current estimates of gender-based violence prevalence; and (3) test the effects of questionnaire design and fieldwork implementation on women's reporting of sexual violence using a randomized design. This study will be, to our knowledge, the first to evaluate the effects of questionnaire design on reporting o sexual violence in a developing country.

描述（由申请人提供）：基于性别的暴力越来越受到研究人员和国际组织的关注。性别暴力对公共健康造成的不利影响包括增加性传播感染（STI）、妇科瘘、意外怀孕、心理后遗症、慢性疼痛、身体残疾、抑郁和药物滥用。此外，性别暴力还对幸存者及其家人产生负面的社会和经济影响，包括医疗费用和工人生产力下降。包括政策制定者和社区组织在内的利益相关者经常寻求估计性暴力和亲密伴侣暴力的发生率，以争取支持来解决这一问题或更准确地制定干预措施。人们常常对基于性别的暴力的发生率进行估计，但许多现有的估计存在严重的局限性。此外，调查问卷设计对报告性暴力的影响尚未像发达国家那样在发展中国家或冲突后环境中得到检验。将进行两部分研究来解决这些问题。在第一部分中，我们将使用人口和健康调查来分析来自 23 个国家的最新数据，在第二部分中，我们将分析来自乌干达一项原始随机设计调查的新数据。我们研究的目的是（1）根据警方报告和基于医疗机构的研究，量化现有对性别暴力（包括冲突中性暴力）估计的低估范围； (2) 描述遭受暴力后向医疗、法律和社会机构报告的妇女与未寻求护理或未报告的妇女有何不同，以更好地了解哪些群体更有可能被纳入当前基于性别的暴力发生率的估计中； (3) 使用随机设计检验问卷设计和实地工作实施对妇女报告性暴力的影响。据我们所知，这项研究将是第一个评估发展中国家调查问卷设计对报告性暴力的影响的研究。
