This review maps gender-sensitive and intersectionality-informed health indicators for reporting. It aims to inform the development of indicators for German Federal Health Reporting to promote gender equality.
Area of Science:
- Public Health
- Health Policy
- Social Determinants of Health
Background:
- Gender is a key social determinant of health inequalities.
- Existing health indicators often lack a gender-sensitive and intersectionality-informed approach.
- Accurate health reporting requires nuanced indicators that capture diverse experiences.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct a scoping review of gender-sensitive and intersectionality-informed health indicators.
- To map the existing evidence on such indicators for health reporting.
- To support the development of a comprehensive indicator set for German Federal Health Reporting.
Main Methods:
- Scoping review following Arksey and O'Malley's framework, extended by Levac et al.
- Systematic database searches (Medline, PsycINFO, Embase, Scopus, CINAHL, Cochrane Library) and grey literature search.
- Data extraction and narrative/descriptive synthesis by two independent reviewers.
Main Results:
- The review identifies and maps existing gender-sensitive and intersectionality-informed health indicators.
- Evidence on the application of these indicators in health reporting is synthesized.
- Gaps in the current indicator sets are highlighted.
Conclusions:
- Gender-sensitive and intersectionality-informed indicators are crucial for accurate health reporting and promoting gender equality.
- The findings provide a foundation for developing a robust indicator set for German Federal Health Reporting.
- Further development and implementation of these indicators are recommended for effective health policy.
