Social norms and women’s risk of intimate partner violence in Nepal (Social Science & Medicine 202:162-169, 2017)

23 апреля, 2018

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 participants, residing in 72 wards in three districts (Chitwan, Kapilvastu, Nawalparasi) in Nepal who were enrolled in a cluster randomized trial testing the impact of a social behavioral change communication intervention designed to prevent IPV.

The study finds that PVNS is a promising measure of social norms underpinning women’s risk of IPV and warrants further psychometric testing.
