While the survey was adapted slightly for each country, each questionnaire had approximately 250 items on men’s attitudes and practices related to daily life, masculinity, employment, health, policies, fatherhood, sexual behaviors, and violence. (see Levtov et al. [33] and Barker et al. [32] for more details on sampling and study design).
