已经做了大量工作,促进在卫生研究中进行基于性和性别的分析,并批判性地思考性和性别对卫生行为和结果的影响。然而,尽管对性和性别的关注有所增加,但在卫生研究中有效应用和衡量这些概念方面仍然存在障碍。一些健康研究人员继续忽视性和性别的概念,或者错误地混淆了它们的含义。我们报告的是由作者开发的一本入门书,以帮助研究人员在工作中理解和使用性和性别的概念。我们提供了详细的性和性别的定义,讨论了性和基于性别的分析(SGBA),并提出了三种方法,将性和性别在健康研究的研究过程中的各个阶段。我们讨论了我们的知识转化过程,并与主要利益相关者分享了我们在传播初级读本时面临的一些挑战。最后,我们强调需要继续关注卫生研究中的性和性别问题。在进行更加敏感、准确和相关的健康研究方面,越来越强调关注性和性别问题。已经做了很多工作来促进健康研究中基于性和性别的分析,并批判性地思考性和性别对健康行为和结果的影响。这项工作被视为理解和解决世界各地存在的卫生不平等问题的关键。近年来,一些期刊发表了特刊,强调将性和性别纳入健康研究的科学,方法和伦理学基础[2,4,10,11]。尽管对性和性别的关注有所增加,但在健康研究中有效应用这些概念仍然存在障碍。一些健康研究人员继续忽视性和性别的概念,或者同义地使用这些术语,从而不正确[9,12]。某些学科比其他学科更熟悉这些概念;虽然性别几十年来一直是社会科学中的一个突出概念,因此影响了社会科学健康研究,但它只是最近才开始进入生物医学和临床健康研究人员的词汇。因此,从根本上说,性别是指社会和文化的影响,往往是混淆或混淆与性,指的是生物学类别的影响[9]。这种混淆导致对性和性别对健康的贡献的混淆,健康研究中的不完整分析和报告,以及潜在的遗漏。
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. In the context of doing more sensitive, precise and relevant health research, there is an increasing emphasis on attending to issues of sex and gender. 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 [1-10]. This work is viewed as key to understanding and addressing health inequities that exist throughout the world. Several journals have published special issues in recent years, emphasizing the scientific, methodological, and ethical rationales for including sex and gender in health research [2,4,10,11]. Despite this increased attention on sex and gender, there remain obstacles to effectively applying these concepts in health research. Some health researchers continue to ignore the concepts of sex and gender or use the terms synonymously and thus incorrectly [9,12]. Certain disciplines are more familiar with these concepts than others; while gender has been a prominent concept in the social sciences for decades, and has therefore influenced social science health research, it has only relatively recently begun to enter the lexicon of biomedical and clinical health researchers. Thus, gender, which fundamentally refers to social and cultural influences, is often conflated or confused with sex, referring to the biological category of influences [9]. This conflation leads to confusion about the contributions of sex and gender to health, incomplete analysis and reporting in health research, and potential missed …
