本研究旨在丰富计划生育（Family Planning）、针对妇女与女童的暴力（Violence Against Women and Girls，简称VAWG）以及宫颈癌筛查（Cervical Cancer Screening）领域的现有知识体系。本项定量研究为监测、受众细分与评估津巴布韦PSI（PSI Zimbabwe）项目的实施情况，及其干预措施的影响提供了实证依据。该研究所得信息将用于制定相关干预措施及配套传播策略。

本研究旨在回答三项与受众细分相关的核心问题：
一、计划生育、VAWG及宫颈癌筛查知识的知晓水平与发展趋势如何？
二、经定性研究识别出的计划生育、VAWG及宫颈癌相关行为与影响因素的现状及发展趋势如何？
三、接触津巴布韦PSI的传播活动是否会促使研究对象在计划生育、VAWG及宫颈癌筛查相关的知识与行为上发生改变？

本研究的研究对象为津巴布韦境内15至49岁的男性与女性。研究采用分层多阶段整群抽样方法，研究对象从100个普查小区中抽取，其中城区35个、农村65个。研究数据通过结构化问卷与智能手机采集。数据分析采用Stata 13版本软件完成，分析内容包括针对核心项目指标的描述性统计分析，以及用于检验时间变化趋势的方差分析（Analysis of Variance, ANOVA）；双变量分析则以居住地作为暴露变量，以项目指标作为结局变量开展分析。
