Physical and sexual gender-based violence research embedded within ‘care as usual’ sexual and reproductive health programming in rural Bolivia: a study protocol
The study protocol description outlines a rigorous and contextually grounded approach to gender-based violence research in rural Bolivia. We disseminate actionable steps in study implementation that prioritize equity and the safety and wellbeing of participants and study team members. Findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the dynamics of interpersonal violence in rural settings and inform culturally responsive interventions and health policy advocacy.
