Measuring Women's Empowerment as a Variable in International Development (2002, background): “The vast majority of empirical studies are not measuring the process element of empowerment.”
Understanding Women's Risk for HIV Infection Using Social Dominance Theory and the Four Bases of Gendered Power (2010, background): “Because women’s experience of partner violence is closely related to the amount of power they have in those relationships, a history of violence has a negative effect on women’s condom use with those partners (Pulerwitz et al., 2000).”
Relationship power, condom use and HIV risk among women in the USA (2002, methodology): “A new measure of relationship power—the Sexual Relationship Power Scale (SRPS)—was created for this study (See Pulerwitz et al. (2000) for a detailed description of the development and psychometric evaluation of the SRPS).”
Gender Differences in Condom Use Behavior? The Role of Power and Partner-Type (2008, background): “Although a few studies incorporated a theory (Gutierrez et al. 2000; Pulerwitz et al. 2000, 2002; Wingood and DiClemente 1998), most only relied on other research to make predictions.”
Gender and sexuality: emerging perspectives from the heterosexual epidemic in South Africa and implications for HIV risk and prevention (2010, background): “It is hardly surprising that women with violent and controlling partners have been shown both to have more frequent sex and to use condoms less often [8,43-45].”
