Placing intersectional inequalities in health

“…Place, or geographical location, must be considered as a variable in intersectional approaches to understanding health behavior ( Bambra, 2022 ). While evidence suggests lower physical activity participation among rural adults ( Fan et al, 2014 , Martin et al, 2005 ), sex and gender have been identified as moderators in the relationship between geographical location and physical activity ( Bengoechea et al, 2005 , Pelletier et al, 2021a ).…”

“…Rooted in the Black Feminism movement,30–32 which challenged the inequalities experienced by Black women, intersectionality provides a theoretical framework to reframe the critical analysis of health inequalities in terms of power relations. Further, intersectionality allows researchers to unpack how some groups are privileged over others 33. Intersectionality posits that socially constructed identities (eg, gender, ethnicity), social categories (social class) and social processes (racism) exist together, are additive and mutually reinforcing, and lead to complex experiences of social and health inequality 33 34.…”

Relationship between intersectionality and cancer inequalities: a scoping review protocol

et al. 2023

IntroductionPersistent inequalities in cancer care and cancer outcomes exist within and between countries. However, the evidence pertaining to the root causes driving cancer inequalities is mixed. This may be explained by the inadequate attention paid to experiences of patients with cancer living at the intersection of multiple social categories (eg, social class, ethnicity). This is supported by the intersectionality framework. This framework offers an alternative lens through which to analyse and understand how these interlocking systems of oppression uniquely shape the experiences of patients with cancer and drive inequalities. In this protocol, we outline a scoping review that will systematically map what is known about the relationship between intersectionality and inequalities in care experience and cancer outcomes of patients with cancer; and to determine how the intersectionality framework has been applied in studies across the cancer care pathway and across countries.Methods and analysisThis study will be guided by Arksey and O’Malley’s, and Levacet al’s frameworks for scoping reviews. We will identify and map the evidence on cancer inequalities and intersectionality from 1989 to present date. Electronic databases (EMBASE, PsychINFO, CINAHL, Medline, Web of Science, ProQuest) and a systematic search strategy using a combination of keywords and Boolean operators AND/OR will be used to identify relevant studies. Screening of eligible papers and data extraction will be conducted by two independent reviewers, and disagreements resolved by discussion with the research team. We will use an iterative process to data charting using a piloted form. Findings will be collated into a narrative report.Ethics and disseminationEthical approval is not required since data used are from publicly available secondary sources. Findings will be disseminated through peer-reviewed journals, conferences and stakeholder meetings. Further, findings will inform the next phases of a multistage research project aimed at understanding inequalities among patients with breast cancer.
