Profil

Zusammenfassung

Kerstin Palm erforscht, wie Geschlecht (Sex und Gender) in der biomedizinischen und Umweltgesundheitsforschung angemessen berücksichtigt werden kann. Sie entwickelt theoretische Konzepte und praktische Instrumente, um die komplexen Dimensionen von Geschlecht in quantitativen Studien zu operationalisieren — statt binärer Kategorien. Ihre Arbeit verbindet Gender Studies mit Naturwissenschaften und Gesundheitswissenschaften, um die Validität und Fairness von Forschungsergebnissen zu verbessern.

• The Operationalisation of Sex and Gender in Quantitative Health–Related Research: A Scoping Review

  2022

  International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health · 49 Zitationen · DOI

  Current trends in quantitative health research have highlighted the inadequacy of the usual operationalisation of sex and gender, resulting in a growing demand for more nuanced options. This scoping review provides an overview of recent instruments for the operationalisation of sex and gender in health-related research beyond a concept of mutually exclusive binary categories as male or masculine vs. female or feminine. Our search in three databases (Medline, Scopus and Web of Science) returned 9935 matches, of which 170 were included. From these, we identified 77 different instruments. The number and variety of instruments measuring sex and/or gender in quantitative health-related research increased over time. Most of these instruments were developed with a US-American student population. The majority of instruments focused on the assessment of gender based on a binary understanding, while sex or combinations of sex and gender were less frequently measured. Different populations may require the application of different instruments, and various research questions may ask for different dimensions of sex and gender to be studied. Despite the clear interest in the development of novel sex and/or gender instruments, future research needs to focus on new ways of operationalisation that account for their variability and multiple dimensions.

• Integrating Sex/Gender into Environmental Health Research: Development of a Conceptual Framework

  2021

  International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health · 48 Zitationen · DOI

  There is a growing awareness about the need to comprehensively integrate sex and gender into health research in order to enhance the validity and significance of research results. An in-depth consideration of differential exposures and vulnerability is lacking, especially within environmental risk assessment. Thus, the interdisciplinary team of the collaborative research project INGER (integrating gender into environmental health research) aimed to develop a multidimensional sex/gender concept as a theoretically grounded starting point for the operationalization of sex and gender in quantitative (environmental) health research. The iterative development process was based on gender theoretical and health science approaches and was inspired by previously published concepts or models of sex- and gender-related dimensions. The INGER sex/gender concept fulfills the four theoretically established prerequisites for comprehensively investigating sex and gender aspects in population health research: multidimensionality, variety, embodiment, and intersectionality. The theoretical foundation of INGER's multidimensional sex/gender concept will be laid out, as well as recent sex/gender conceptualization developments in health sciences. In conclusion, by building upon the latest state of research of several disciplines, the conceptual framework will significantly contribute to integrating gender theoretical concepts into (environmental) health research, improving the validity of research and, thus, supporting the promotion of health equity in the long term.
