*Table shows an evaluation of the consistency of scores for each measure. Proportions shown compare row frequencies of women in ‘high’ and ‘low’ scoring groups with an observed mistreatment item (determined by those scoring at/above or below the country-specific mean score on the measure). Internally consistent scores have a higher proportion of women in the ‘high’ scoring group experiencing each item. Frequencies are comparative and do not sum to 100.
