AdvanceGender – Advancing Gender-Sensitive Health Reporting to Improve Prevention: Methods for a Gender-Sensitive Research Process of Population Studies. AdvanceDataAnalysis – Development of methods for gender-sensitive multivariable data analysis
Description
AdvanceGender is a project of the Medizinische Hochschule Brandenburg Theodor Fontane, the University of Bremen [Institute of Public Health and Nursing Research, Department of Social Epidemiology] and the Robert Koch Institute [www.rki.de/advancegender, Department of Epidemiology and Health Monitoring, Unit Health Reporting] that is directly linked to current international research on the integration of gender theory into quantitative health research. The objective of AdvanceGender is the development of gender-sensitive health reporting, which is theoretically as well as empirically well-founded. The entire research process of population-based studies is analysed and evaluated with regard to gender sensitivity. The goal is to develop a best-practice model to advance a gender-sensitive research process, thereby improving the linkage between data analysis, health reporting and health promotion. Within the framework of the subproject AdvanceDataAnalysis, led by the Department of Social Epidemiology at IPP, gender-sensitive data analysis strategies are developed and tested, with special consideration of intersectionality approaches. The starting point is a systematic research on different theoretical concepts and their operationalization within the scope of data analyses in health sciences. The identified concepts and strategies for gender-sensitive multivariate data analyses are further refined and applied in the context of multivariate data analyses within selected fields, relevant for health reporting. In cooperation with the project partners, the implications of the research results for the practice of gender-sensitive health reporting are presented and approaches for further research are elaborated.
As part of a panel discussion at the World Congress of Public Health 2020, the project results and the arising practice-oriented implications for intersectionality-informed and gender-sensitive public health research were discussed. The panellists were international experts in the fields of epidemiology, health equity, women's health and health reporting. A summary of the discussion is available via the following link:
