In 2002 and 2003, CIET conducted a survey of gender violence and HIV knowledge, attitudes and practices among households and schools in eight southern African countries, including Botswana, where the survey covered some 2,500 adults and 4,700 school going youth.

CIET repeated the survey in 2007, now covering 10 countries, again including Botswana (about 2,500 adults and 10,300 school going youth). A summary of the 2002 and 2007 findings in Botswana is available.

Several published papers cover aspects of the survey findings in Botswana and the region.
