Determinants of gender-equitable attitudes among adult men in a health education program: a cross-sectional study in Southern Malawi
The findings of this study shed light on the significant role of educational grade and living in an urban area as determinants of gender-equitable attitudes among men in south-eastern Malawi. More equitable perspectives towards gender norms were associated with being more involved in tasks typically assigned to women and in joint decision-making. Incorporating gender in research can contribute to the advancement of a more inclusive healthcare system.
