    Adaptation of the G-NORM (Gender norms scale) in Uganda: An examination of how gender norms are associated with reproductive health decision-making
    (Plos one, 2024-11-04) Sedlander, Erica; Birabwa, Catherine; Amongin, Dinah; Wasswa, Ronald; Bingenheimer, Jeffrey B.
    Restrictive gender norms exacerbate health inequalities all over the world. More specifically, they prevent women from seeking preventive health services, constrain women’s economic empowerment, and are associated with reproductive health decision making. Gender norms, a subset of social norms, are dynamic and change over time. However, we lack data on how they are changing and how these changes affect health outcomes because current measures do not adequately capture the complex concept of gender norms.
