Two hands encircling a heart.

This project aims to investigate experiences related to reproductive oppression, primarily honour-based violence (HBV), and its association with health and equity among young people in Sweden.

We use both qualitative and quantitative methods in 3 studies:
(i) a population-based cross-sectional study will describe the prevalence and social determinants of HBV, as well as the link between HBV and self-reported and psychosomatic health issues among youth,
(ii) a qualitative interview study will explore experiences of youth subjected to HBV and their access to comprehensive sexual education and basic SRH services and to contextualise and bridge evidence into practice,
(iii) a public health intervention will be co-created through public engagement and stakeholder dialogue.
