Gender, Ethnicity, and Health Research

More about the book

The book critically examines the implications of using sex, gender, ethnicity, and race as classifications in health research. It questions the validity of these categories by exploring underlying issues that may influence disparities in healthcare access and treatment utilization. Through various examples, it emphasizes the need for a deeper analysis of how these classifications are constructed and their potential impact on research findings. The work calls for a more nuanced understanding of the factors affecting health disparities, rather than merely attributing differences to race or ethnicity.
