Abstract

The term reproductive violence (RV) unifies forms of gender‐based violence that compromise reproductive autonomy. This study developed a multilevel quantitative measurement framework for RV comprised of indicators at the interpersonal, community, institutional, and law and policy levels. We conducted a systematized literature review, extracting and scoring existing indicators based on prior testing in a low‐ and middle‐income country setting, psychometric data, feasibility, and face validity. The literature review identified 84 peer‐reviewed studies, inclusive of 448 indicators that were extracted and scored. Ultimately, 112 indicators were included in the RV measurement framework. Indicators were organized by level of the social‐ecological model and across three categories: (1) pregnancy‐promoting RV, (2) pregnancy‐preventing RV, and (3) legal and social liabilities of pregnancy and parenthood. This study provides the first multilevel measurement framework for RV. Further research is needed to develop indicators for understudied RV constructs and validate the framework. The resulting framework will be used at the subnational, national, and regional levels to understand barriers to reproductive autonomy.

生殖暴力指标：制定多层次测量框架的系统化审查

生殖暴力（RV）一词统一了损害生殖自主的基于性别的暴力形式。本研究建立了一个由人际关系、社区、制度、法律和政策层面指标组成的多层次定量测量框架。我们进行了系统的文献综述，根据在低收入和中等收入国家环境中进行的先前测试、心理测量数据、可行性和面部效度提取和评分现有指标。文献综述确定了84项同行评议的研究，包括提取和评分的448项指标。最终，RV测量框架包含112个指标。指标按社会生态模型的水平分为三类：(1)促进怀孕的风险风险，(2)防止怀孕的风险风险，以及(3)怀孕和父母的法律和社会责任。本研究提供了首个RV的多层次测量框架。需要进一步的研究来开发未被充分研究的RV结构的指标并验证框架。由此产生的框架将用于次国家、国家和区域各级，以了解生殖自主的障碍。
