醫學中的交織性研究方法與實例

Methods and Examples for Intersectionality Research in Medicine

「交織性」（intersectionality）指個人或群體所面臨的壓迫與不平等，乃由社會性別、生理性別、族裔、社經地位等多種社會類別相互交織而成。當醫學研究涉及健康不平等或歧視經驗時，若將各因素視為彼此獨立，分析恐流於片面，甚至加劇健康不平等。本文將介紹交織性之概念及其發展，以及將交織性納入醫學研究之方法。最終，本文將藉著實際的研究案例以說明將交織性納入醫學研究的重要性。

Intersectionality refers to the idea that the oppression and inequality faced by individuals or groups arise from the interweaving of multiple social categories, such as gender, sex, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status. In medical research concerning health inequalities or experiences of discrimination, treating these factors as mutually independent may render analyses one-sided and may even exacerbate health inequalities. This article introduces the concept of intersectionality and its development, as well as methods for incorporating intersectionality into medical research. Finally, it draws on actual research examples to illustrate the importance of incorporating intersectionality into medical research.
