Social group inequality and intersectionality

我们发现，劣势是当前通过许多有社会意义的特征及其交叉性描述健康差异的实践中主要关注的问题。我们制定了一个计划：(1)通过一个概念分析来直接解决这个问题，这个分析包括检查劣势意味着什么以及为什么我们应该关注它；(2)发展经验方法，这将需要确定如何最好地利用现有的大规模人口健康调查衡量不利条件；(3)研究社会群体的类型及其对我们如何描述和衡量健康差异的影响。

We identified disadvantage is the primary concern in the current practice of describing health disparities by numerous socially meaningful characteristics and their intersectionality. We set a plan to: (1) address this concern directly through a conceptual analysis that involves examining what disadvantage means and why we should be concerned about it; (2) develop empirical methods that will entail determining how best to measure disadvantage using an existing, large population-level health survey; and (3) examine types of social groups and their implications for how we describe and measure health disparities.
