Two fully funded PhD studentships are available in the five-year, mixed-methods SeRO project to study the impact of local violent crime on sexual and reproductive health in Mexico, funded by a €1.6M Starting Grant from the European Research Council.
The SeRO project provides the first systematic investigation of how local violent crime affects sexual and reproductive health. While we know that direct crime victims suffer from worsened health, we know remarkably little about how violence indirectly affects the sexuality and reproduction of people living in violence-affected communities. The project builds on an innovative mixed-methods approach to study the case of Mexico. The SeRO project will provide evidence-based strategies for protecting health in violence-affected settings worldwide. More info about the project can be found here.
