Risk and prevalence of female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) among the immigrant population in Norway – an updated and refined extrapolation study
Using a refined methodology, this study will provide updated knowledge about the prevalence and risk of FGM/C in Norway. Because FGM/C causes physical, psychological, and sexual health problems, many vulnerable girls and women need healthcare. Those who have not been exposed need protection from FGM/C and its associated health problems.

Project description
We organize the study in two work packages (WP). The first WP aims to identify factors influencing attitudes and behaviors towards FGM/C in Norway and estimate the effect size of migration and acculturation and preventive and protective measures (MAPPM) on attitudes and behaviors towards FGM/C among different affected migrant groups. For this package, we will combine a literature study with the expanded use of Delphi. In the second WP, we will adjust the extrapolated data for the effect of MAPPM calculated in the first WP and estimate the number of girls and women subjected to FGM/C and the number of girls at risk.
