在促进卫生研究中的性和基于性别的分析以及批判性地思考性和性别对卫生行为和结果的影响方面，已经做了大量工作。然而，尽管对性和社会性别的关注有所增加，但在健康研究中有效应用和衡量这些概念仍然存在障碍。一些健康研究人员继续忽视性和社会性别的概念，或者错误地混淆它们的含义。我们报告了作者开发的一个引物，以帮助研究人员在他们的工作中理解和使用性和性别的概念。我们提供了性别和社会性别的详细定义，讨论了性别和基于性别的分析（SGBA），并提出了在研究过程的不同阶段将性别和社会性别纳入健康研究的三种方法。我们讨论了我们的知识翻译过程，并分享了我们在向主要利益相关者传播我们的入门时面临的一些挑战。最后，我们强调必须在健康研究中继续关注性和社会性别问题。
Much work has been done to promote sex and gender-based analyses in health research and to think critically about the influence of sex and gender on health behaviours and outcomes. However, despite this increased attention on sex and gender, there remain obstacles to effectively applying and measuring these concepts in health research. Some health researchers continue to ignore the concepts of sex and gender or incorrectly conflate their meanings. We report on a primer that was developed by the authors to help researchers understand and use the concepts of sex and gender in their work. We provide detailed definitions of sex and gender, discuss a sex and gender-based analysis (SGBA), and suggest three approaches for incorporating sex and gender in health research at various stages of the research process. We discuss our knowledge translation process and share some of the challenges we faced in disseminating our primer with key stakeholders. In conclusion, we stress the need for continued attention to sex and gender in health research.
