Global Health Effects of Gender-Based Violence Burden of Proof and Risk-Outcome Scores

Researchers systematically reviewed literature on the health burden of physical, sexual, and psychological gender-based violence impacting both men and women. Employing the Burden of Proof (BoP) methodology, a meta-analytical approach designed to produce conservative estimates of associations while heterogeneity between input studies analyzed, the researchers delineated the relationship between these forms of violence against men and women and eighth adverse health outcomes. Data were extracted and synthesized from 40 unique studies. This dataset includes: a comprehensive list of all the studies incorporated into our analysis; the processed input data from each study included; and the outcomes for each exposure-outcome analysis according to the Burden of Proof (BoP) methodology, including pooled relative risks and BoP-specific metrics (i.e., burden of proof risk function, risk-outcome score, and star rating).
