“…The relevance of sexual/gender theoretical frameworks were substantiated through their use in public health research aimed at better understanding sexual risk behaviors in the context of HIV and related public health issues (Bowleg et al, 2015; Eaton and Stephens, 2016; Horley, 2016; Stephens, 2017). A theoretical framework built on both the Sexual Script Theory (SST) and the Theory of Gender and Power (TGP) highlights the influence of gender roles on sexual behaviors of women.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
