"This workbook is designed to standardize anatomic nomenclature, as it relates to the head and neck, for both new and experienced sexual assault nurse examiners (SANEs) and sexual assault forensic examiners (SAFEs), first responders, medical residents and physicians, nursing students, and nurse practitioners, including nurse midwives, women's health nurse practitioners, pediatric nurse practitioners, and forensic nurse practitioners. Manual Nonfatal Strangulation Assessment for Health Care Providers and First Responders will teach beginning first responders, SANE/SAFE practitioners, medical residents and nursing students the language of evidence-based evaluative methods of care for the strangulation patients. It will present peer-reviewed strangulation case studies with a clear history, photographic representation and confirmation of anatomical landmarks and injuries, discussions about existing conditions and their influence, identification of injury, evidence-based collection techniques, and treatment based on current standards of practice. Offering this workbook to first responders and health care providers will help fulfill their need for basic, peer-reviewed information and will contribute to continuing competence in care for strangulation patients."

Women may under-report intimate partner violence (IPV) due to several social and psychological factors. This study conducts a measurement experiment in rural Liberia and Malawi in which women were asked IPV questions via self-interviewing (SI) or face-to-face interviewing. About a third of women incorrectly answer basic screening questions in SI, and SI generates placebo effects on innocuous questions even for those who "pass" screening. Because the probability of responding "yes" to any specific IPV question is less than 50 percent, and that IPV is typically reported as an index (reporting yes to at least one question), such misunderstanding increases IPV reporting. In Malawi, SI increases the reported incidence of any type of IPV by 13 percentage points on a base of 20 percent; in Liberia, the study finds an insignificant increase of 4 percentage points on a base of 38 percent. Our results suggest SI may spuriously increase reported IPV rates.

Recent studies demonstrate that female leaders can improve gender-specific outcomes along multiple dimensions through better provision of public goods and legislative changes that benefit women. Using quasi-random exposure to female leaders elected to state legislatures in India, this paper shows that there may also be an unintended effect: an increase in rural women's reported experience of physical spousal abuse. We find that a plausible channel underlying this effect is an increase in women's modern contraceptive use-potentially resulting from improvements in public provision of health services-which leads to marital conflict, especially when the husband's son preference is stronger than the wife's.
