abstract="INTRODUCTION: Violence against women is a serious threat to women's health and human  rights globally. Disability has been associated with increased risk of exposure to  different forms of violence, however, there are questions concerning how best to  measure this association. Research on understanding the association between violence  and disability among women has included incorporating short disability measures into  violence against women prevalence surveys. The potential to improve understanding of  interconnections between violence and disability by measuring violence within  disability-focused research is underexplored. The scoping review described here  focuses on three areas of measurement of violence against women and disability: (1)  measurement of violence within the context of disability-focused research, (2)  measurement in research focused on the intersection of disability and violence and  (3) measurement of disability in the context of research focused on violence against  women. Specifically, we aim to map definitions, measures and methodologies in these  areas, globally. <br><br>METHODS AND ANALYSIS: For our scoping review, we will conduct  searches for quantitative studies of disability-focused research which use measures  of violence against women, and measures of disability in research focused on  violence against women, in 11 online databases. Two authors will independently  review titles and abstracts retrieved through the search strategy. We will search  for grey literature, search the websites of National Statistics Offices for all  countries to identify any national or subnational disability research and consult  with experts for input. Data extraction will be conducted independently by one  author and reviewed by another author, and data will be analysed and synthesised  using a thematic synthesis approach. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Ethics approval was  not sought as no primary data is being collected. <br><br>FINDINGS will be disseminated  through a publication in a peer-reviewed journal, through coordinated dissemination  to researchers, practitioners, data users and generators and through various working  groups and networks on violence against women and disability.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
