Researchers have challenged the notion of women’s health universality, an idea that essentializes women’s health care needs regardless of their race/ethnicity, cultural background, age, social class, geographical locations, and sexual identity (social determinants of health). These researchers subsequently assert the need to consider the intersectionality of these multiple forms of discrimination in women’s health research. Intersecting forms of social disadvantage and marginalization are frequently associated with adverse health outcomes. Nurses, who have long been at the forefront of women’s health initiatives, are in an ideal position to participate in and lead teams of researchers, health care providers, policymakers, and the lay public in a contemporary commitment to strengthen women’s health. However, lack of significant training in data science (DS) and emerging health information technologies (HIT) reduces the effectiveness of nursing scientists in women’s health research. The use of DS and HIT can improve research effectiveness in reducing health disparities among disadvantaged groups of women by providing various strategies that were not possible without these methodologies (e.g., increasing access to hidden populations, improving the precision of measurements). The purpose of this T32 program is to prepare nurse scientists who have knowledge and skills to employ DS and/or HIT in order to improve women’s health while considering the intersectionality of multiple social determinants of health. This is in agreement with the overarching goals of Healthy People 2030, the NINR strategic plan (especially research lenses on health disparities and social determinants of health), the Trans-NIH Strategic Plan for Women’s Health Research, the IOM Report on Women’s Health Research, and the American Academy of Nursing’s Women’s Health Research Agenda. This training will build on the strengths of the Emory University Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing’s currently funded research studies, faculty expertise, and supporting infrastructure. It will address women’s health issues with a conceptual focus on intersectionality among social determinants of health. Trainees will also develop knowledge and skills in interdisciplinary research methods related to women’s health, understand and apply DS and/or HIT, and/or develop and test interventions using DS and/or HIT in women’s health. The program comprises: 1) specific courses related to women’s health, DS, and HIT; 2) electives to individualize training, develop an area of specialization, and facilitate trainees in interdisciplinary courses; 3) biweekly T32 seminars to foster trainees’ integration of course content with other program experiences; 4) 15 hours a week of work on faculty research over several semesters; 5) at least one semester of individualized research practicum with center internships; and 6) participation in an interdisciplinary center on campus that relates to the trainee’s research area. Fifteen nurse scientists will be trained over 5 years. The program will engage 17 mentors and 6 Interdisciplinary co-mentors. Over 10 research centers/institutes/departments have agreed to collaborate, making this a fully interdisciplinary training program.

研究人员对女性健康普遍性的概念提出了挑战，这种想法将女性的健康本质化， 无论其种族/民族、文化背景、年龄、社会阶层、地理位置， 地点和性别认同（健康的社会决定因素）。这些研究人员随后断言， 在妇女健康研究中考虑这些多种形式的歧视的交叉性。相交 各种形式的社会不利地位和边缘化往往与不利的健康结果有关。 护士长期以来一直处于妇女健康倡议的最前沿，处于参与的理想位置 在当代的研究人员，医疗保健提供者，政策制定者和普通公众中， 致力于加强妇女健康。然而，缺乏数据科学（DS）方面的重要培训， 新兴的健康信息技术（HIT）降低了护理科学家在妇女健康方面的有效性 research.使用DS和HIT可以提高研究效率，减少健康差距， 通过提供各种战略来帮助弱势妇女群体，如果没有这些战略， 方法（例如，增加对隐藏人口的访问，提高测量的精度）。 这个T32计划的目的是准备护士科学家谁拥有知识和技能，雇用DS 和/或HIT，以改善妇女的健康，同时考虑到多种社会因素的交叉性， 健康的决定因素。这与《2030年健康人》（NINR）的总体目标一致。 战略计划（特别是关于健康差异和健康的社会决定因素的研究视角）， 《妇女健康研究战略计划》、《国际移民组织妇女健康研究报告》和《美国 护理学院的妇女健康研究议程。这项培训将建立在埃默里大学的优势之上 大学Nell Hodgson Woodruff护理学院目前资助的研究，教师专业知识， 支持基础设施。它将处理妇女健康问题，在概念上侧重于交叉性 健康的社会决定因素。学员还将发展跨学科研究的知识和技能 与妇女健康有关的方法，理解和应用DS和/或HIT，和/或制定和测试干预措施 在女性健康中使用DS和/或HIT。该方案包括：1）与妇女健康有关的具体课程， DS和HIT; 2）个性化培训的选修课，开发专业领域，并促进学员在 跨学科课程; 3）每两周一次的T32研讨会，以促进学员将课程内容与其他 项目经验; 4）几个学期每周15小时的教师研究工作; 5）至少一个 一个学期的个性化研究实习与中心实习;和6）参与跨学科 与学员研究领域相关的校园中心。15名护士科学家将在5年内接受培训。 该计划将聘请17名导师和6名跨学科的共同导师。超过10项研究 各中心/研究所/部门已同意合作，使之成为一个完全跨学科的培训方案。
