The award funds a project to improve global measurement of intimate partner violence by developing better measurement tools and models, using advanced statistical methods and multiple survey data sources, to enhance IPV surveillance and prevention efforts.
Description
This project aims to improve the measurement of intimate partner violence (IPV) globally by addressing limitations in current measurement tools. It involves assessing measurement error, identifying optimal measurement models across countries, and testing their applicability in high-income countries. The study will utilize data from various surveys including Demographic and Health Surveys, Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys, NISVS, and FRA-VAW. The project will employ confirmatory factor analysis, Bayesian modeling, and item response theory to enhance IPV measurement validity and comparability.
