: NFHS surveys in India were reviewed and approved by the IIPS Institutional Review Board and the ICF Institutional Review Board. The protocol was also reviewed by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). We used de-identified publicly available dataset from DHS website for this analysis. Therefore, no separate ethical approval was required for this analysis. In NFHS-4, the interviewers pursued informed consent from the women before interviews. Privacy and confidentiality were ensured during interviews by trained female interviewers who received special training to administer the domestic violence module. Permission was obtained from Measure DHS to use the data for further analysis.
