Transfers, Behavior Change Communication, and Intimate Partner Violence: Postprogram Evidence from Rural Bangladesh (2019, background): “…following the WHO protocol on ethical guidelines for conducting research on women’s experience with IPV (World Health Organization, 2001).5 These modules ask multiple behaviorally specific questions on a range of abusive acts, a technique shown to maximize disclosure (Ellsberg et al., 2001).”
Ethical Issues in the Use of In-Depth Interviews: Literature Review and Discussion (2009, background): “The first were discussion papers: these discussed ethical issues related to in-depth interviews but were not specifically connected to any research study [1-35].”
Global and regional estimates of violence against women: prevalence and health effects of intimate partner violence and non-partner sexual violence. (2013, background): “Methodological issues related to the implementation of the survey procedures – including the selection and levels of training of interviewers, and ensuring appropriate support of respondents and interviewers, have also been shown to influence levels of disclosure (3, 17, 18).”
Fighting Families: Family Characteristics Associated with Domestic Violence in Five Latin American Countries (2006, background): “The percentages could be much higher, as some women deny, minimize, and underreport abuse (Ellsberg et al., 2001).”
WHO Multi-country Study on Women's Health and Domestic Violence against Women: Initial Results on Prevalence, Health Outcomes and Women's Responses (2008, background): “Such factors have since been shown to greatly affect prevalence estimates by influencing a woman’s willingness to disclose abuse (12, 13).”
What factors are associated with recent intimate partner violence? findings from the WHO multi-country study on women's health and domestic violence (2011, background): “Research has shown that disclosure of partner violence is highly influenced by interviewer factors as well as privacy and context of the interview–factors that are more difficult to control in national surveys designed for other purposes [16,25,26].”
Perceptions and Experiences of Research Participants on Gender-Based Violence Community Based Survey: Implications for Ethical Guidelines (2012, background): “Women research participants have been viewed as a vulnerable group and that, often, may be exposed to, as Wasunna [22] argued, immediate or perpetual danger of abuse through their participation in research [23,24,25,26].”
Crossing the threshold: engendered definitions of socially acceptable domestic violence in Chennai, India (2003, background): “Emotional, sexual and physical violence by an intimate male partner is one of the most common forms it takes (Ellsberg et al. 2001).”
The Effect of Cash, Vouchers, and Food Transfers on Intimate Partner Violence: Evidence from a Randomized Experiment in Northern Ecuador (2016, positive): “In order to elicit accurate assessments of violence, we administered multiple behaviorally specific questions on a range of abusive acts, a technique shown to maximize disclosure (Ellsberg et al. 2001).”
Examining Symmetry in Intimate Partner Violence Among Young Adults Using Socio-Demographic Characteristics (2010, methodology): “Despite finding that over one-third of the Wave 3 sample reported experiencing at least one type of relationship violence, incidents of IPV have been found to be under-reported when using self-report inventories (Ellsberg et al. 2001; Heckert and Gondolf 2000) and are subject to social desirability.”
Gender differences in self-reports of intimate partner violence: A review (2011, background): “Studies have shown that women are more likely to under-report when the interviewer is a man (Sorenson, Stein, Siegel, Golding, & Burnam, 1987), when someone else (other than the interviewer) is present (Walby & Myhill, 2001), and when perceived privacy is low (Ellsberg et al., 2001).”
