交叉性是一个理论框架，它假定多个社会类别（例如，种族、民族、性别、性取向、社会经济地位）在个人经历的微观层面上相交，以反映在宏观、社会结构层面上的特权和压迫的多重连锁系统（例如，种族主义，性别歧视，异性恋）。公共卫生对社会正义的承诺使其与交叉性对多个历史上受压迫人口的关注自然契合。然而，尽管有大量的研究集中在这些人群，公共卫生研究，反映其理论框架，设计，分析或解释的交叉性是罕见的。因此，我描述的历史和交叉性的核心原则，解决一些理论和方法上的挑战，并强调公共卫生理论，研究和政策的交叉性的好处。(Am J公共卫生。2012;102：1267-1273. doi：10.2105/AJPH.2012.300750）
Intersectionality is a theoretical framework that posits that multiple social categories (e.g., race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status) intersect at the micro level of individual experience to reflect multiple interlocking systems of privilege and oppression at the macro, social-structural level (e.g., racism, sexism, heterosexism). Public health's commitment to social justice makes it a natural fit with intersectionality's focus on multiple historically oppressed populations. Yet despite a plethora of research focused on these populations, public health studies that reflect intersectionality in their theoretical frameworks, designs, analyses, or interpretations are rare. Accordingly, I describe the history and central tenets of intersectionality, address some theoretical and methodological challenges, and highlight the benefits of intersectionality for public health theory, research, and policy.
