21. Attitudes towards and exposure to intimate partner violence against women in sub-Saharan Africa : contextual effects, neighbourhood variations and individual risk factors
Sammanfattning : Aims: We described and compared attitudes toward intimate partner violence and associated socio-demographic, structural, and attitudinal factors among men and women from subSaharan Africa (SSA) (Study I) and explored plausible gender differences to examine societal level factors associated with it (Study II).
