This research aims to develop and evaluate a scale measuring young men's attitudes toward gender norms in Brazil.
Developed the Gender-Equitable Men (GEM) Scale with 24 items focusing on various aspects of gender norms.
Administered the scale to a household sample of 742 men, with specific focus on 223 young men aged 15-24.
Conducted factor analyses to assess the scale's structure and internal consistency.
Higher GEM Scale scores (support for equitable norms) correlate with less self-reported partner violence.
Increased contraceptive use is associated with higher GEM Scale scores.
A higher education level is significantly linked to more equitable gender norm attitudes.
