The BIAS FREE framework. A practical tool for identifying and eliminating social biases in health research

tdrhrp — Tue, 13 Jun 2023 14:16:48 +0000

This book presents the BIAS FREE Framework — a tool for identifying and avoiding biases in health research that derive from any social hierarchy. BIAS FREE stands for Building an Integrative Analytical System for Recognizing and Eliminating InEquities. The acronym is the statement of a goal, not an achievement.

The BIAS FREE Framework suggests a pathway towards this destination. In this book we concentrate on biases deriving from three social hierarchies only: those based on gender, race and ability, and on the application of the Framework to health research, although in principle it is applicable to all types of research that involve human beings.

Rising to the challenge: sex and gender-based analysis for health planning, policy and research in Canada

tdrhrp — Thu, 08 Jun 2023 14:47:13 +0000

While there are many resources available on sex and gender-based analysis (SGBA), we believe that important contribution to the field for a number of reasons. First, this book represents a timely response to a growing demand and appetite for sex and gender‑based analysis in government, civil society and among researchers. Second, it complements introductory guides and checklists – which comprise the majority of SGBA materials – by inviting readers to engage in a deeper, extended discussion about the changing meanings of “sex” and “gender” and their current and potential roles in health and society. Third, it treats SGBA as a process, rather than a tool or template, thereby emphasizing its flexibility and transferability across sectors, disciplines and regions. Finally, the case studies offer concrete examples of SGBA and are based, in large measure, on Canadian data that will be familiar to and relevant for decision makers, program managers, practitioners, researchers and others.

Gender awakening tool : bibliography : sex and gender in biomedical and health research

tdrhrp — Thu, 08 Jun 2023 13:04:26 +0000

The “Gender Awakening Tool” is a checklist or step-by step plan to assess if all relevant aspects of sex and gender have been considered in (life science) research.
The checklist can be used to prevent common pitfalls or shortcomings leading to gender bias in research, i.e. over-generalisation, gender insensitivity, and double standards.
