The BIAS FREE framework. A practical tool for identifying and eliminating social biases in health research
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
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.
Clow B, Pederson A, Haworth-Brockman M, Bernier J. Rising to the challenge: sex- and gender-based analysis for health planning, policy and research in Canada. 2009.
This book is divided into eight chapters. The first three chapters provide background material on sex‑ and gender‑based analysis, including a discussion of core concepts in sex‑ and gender‑based analysis as well as an explanation of the approach to SGBA embodied in this guide. Chapters 4 through 7 comprise a series of case studies and commentaries illustrating the application of SGBA to surveillance data, literature reviews and systematic reviews, health surveys, health policy making, health protection and health program development. These two sections together demonstrate that sex‑ and gender‑based analysis is a process that involves asking critical questions of all kinds of evidence and that can be applied to many different dimensions of health research, healthy planning and policy‑making and communication. Chapter 8 includes our concluding remarks as well as a look at emerging directions in sex‑ and gender‑based analysis.

Designing and conducting gender, sex & health research
This book provides the first resource dedicated to critically examining gender and sex in study designs, methods, and analysis in health research. In order to produce ethical, accurate, and effective research findings it is vital to integrate both sex (biological characteristics) and gender (socially constructed factors) into any health study. This book draws attention to some of the methodological complexities in this enterprise and offers ways to thoughtfully address these by drawing on empirical examples across a range of topics and disciplines.
