“…For example, people experiencing exclusion include: those who are isolated due to older age, have learning disabilities, endure homelessness, are in custody or have convictions, are migrant workers, are refugees, asylum seekers, sex workers, victims of slavery, have substance use disorders, and have mental health conditions. While each group will experience discrimination in unique forms (e.g., ageism, ableism, sexism, racism, prejudice), each individual will also experience multiple forms of discrimination depending on their social markers (e.g., gender, race, ethnicity and sexuality 26 ). These layers of discrimination accumulate and compound social exclusion.…”

In response to headlines about the oral health of persons experiencing social exclusion resonating in highincome countries, and research demonstrating the need for urgent action, a symposium entitled 'International Perspectives on Socially Inclusive Dentistry: A Call to Action' was organized for the IADR International Meeting of 2018. The aim of the symposium was to initiate an international dialogue on barriers to care, multidisciplinary action, and examples of best practice for service delivery for people experiencing social exclusion; in other words, to develop the idea of inclusion oral health. Through our international exchange, what emerged was an awareness of a lack of professional consensus: What exactly is inclusion oral health? A theoretical framework to push forward the policy, research and practice agenda was clearly needed. This paper advances such a framework. Over the decades, dentistry has forged an approach to service delivery mainly through a business, demand-led model. While oral health continues to improve globally, an important consequence of this approach is that it compounds the social exclusion that many people are already experiencing because of a constellation of economic, political, cultural and individual factors. Thus, many people are simply not getting the dental care they need. In contrast, drawing on the theoretical literature on social exclusion, intersectionality and othering, we suggest that dentistry could act as an agent for social inclusion as a more responsive, all-encompassing form of oral health care and delivery. This paper advances a theoretical framework for inclusion oral health and an action plan to show how inclusion oral health may become one solution in an armamentarium to tackle the global phenomena of oral health inequities.

“…Traditional methods used to recruit research participants have included flyers, clinical outreach, and convenience sampling. More recently, advertising online and social media platforms have emerged as ways to reach potential participants especially among diverse populations 2,4,7 . During the COVID‐19 pandemic, many studies increased use of electronic recruitment strategies.…”

“…Racism, classism, and rurality are additional areas of intersectionality that contribute to inequality in disparities in research participation and perinatal health outcomes. 2,4 In 2020, the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2) pandemic further impeded research in many health care settings as research and academic centers paused research activities. In response to the shutdown of inperson research enacted to limit the spread of SARS-COV-2, this team implemented research strategies including online recruitment, virtual enrollment and consent, telephone and video data collection, new applications of smart phone technology, wearable devices, and participant self-collection of biological samples (Table 1).…”

In 2020, in-person research activities were stopped because of the spread of the novel coronavirus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, and the resulting disease, coronavirus disease 2019. Our collaborative team of nurse and midwife scientists at universities across the United States adapted research activities to continue prospective perinatal research during the pandemic. These adaptations included development of new research techniques and the implementation of previously developed, but underused, strategies to conduct research from a distance. These strategies included online recruitment, virtual enrollment and consent, qualitative data collection via video conferencing, new applications of smart phone technology, wearable biological measurement, and participant self-collection of biological samples. In addition to allowing research to continue during the pandemic, these innovative strategies may increase access to research for low-income, rural, and racially diverse pregnant and postpartum populations. Decreased travel requirements, flexible scheduling, wearable devices, and the capacity to self-collect biologic samples may improve recruitment and the experience of research participation. The rapid implementation of these research strategies has advanced innovation toward wider, more inclusive and increasingly diverse perinatal research access, and many of these strategies will continue to be used and refined.

“…Conceptualized as one axis in a social interactional process, location reveals "individual and group identities, systems of power, and processes of interaction and change" (Dhamoon, 2010;Sen et al, 2009: 398)-a process that may have implications for gendered health outcomes. A central point in assessing marginalization in terms of intersectional identities is that the effects are multiplicative rather than additive (Mwangi & Constance-Huggins, 2019).…”

Intersectional Effects of Gender, Education, and Geographic Region on Functional Health Disparities Among Older Adults in India

Objective: Research on social determinants of health in India has focused largely on the independent influence of education, gender, and region. Using an intersectionality framework in this study, we examine the combined effects of these three key social locators on the critical, yet underexamined outcome of later life functional health. Method: We use data from Wave 1 (2007–2010) of the Study of Global Ageing and Adult Health (SAGE) ( N = 7,150) to examine whether the effects of education on functional limitations differ by gender in six highly heterogenous regions of India. Results: The effects of education on functional limitations were significantly greater (β = .026, p < .001) for men than women. Consistent with established regional differences in economic development, cultural practices, and political context, this relationship varied across locales. Discussion: Our findings highlight the need to move beyond independent sources of heterogeneity in examining later life functional health in the global South.
