Designing and Conducting Gender, Sex, and Health Research Zusammenfassung

Designing and Conducting Gender, Sex, and Health Research John Oliffe

This book is the first textbook dedicated to critically examining gender and sex in study designs, methods, and analysis in health research. In order to produce ethical, accurate, and effective research findings it is vital to integrate both sex (biological characteristics) and gender (socially constructed factors) into any health study. This book draws attention to some of the methodological complexities in this enterprise and offers ways to thoughtfully address these by drawing on empirical examples across a range of topics and disciplines.

Designing and Conducting Gender, Sex, and Health Research is an invaluable resource for students undertaking research in health sciences, medicine, nursing, gender studies, women's studies, epidemiology, health policy, psychology, and sociology.

From John L. Oliffe and Lorraine Greaves:
