Abstract

Critical feminist research addresses social inequities, encourages equitable partnerships between researchers and participants, and acknowledges that research can be inherently political. Building upon critical feminist research practices, community-based participatory research, and social and structural epidemiology, we propose the approach of critical feminist epidemiology. A critical feminist epidemiology approach can study community and population health inequities with an eye toward identifying interventions that reduce inequities, through research processes that center the lived experiences of people from minoritized genders. We describe how our interdisciplinary, community-led team used a critical feminist epidemiology approach for an applied public health research project. Mujeres Unidas y Activas, a community organizing nonprofit led by and for Latina and Indigenous immigrant women, partnered with academic researchers to conduct community-led research on how their approach to building community power affected the health and well-being of organization members and their families. Critical feminist epidemiology is a promising approach for conducting research that is grounded in and relevant to the lives of women and gender-expansive people. Building upon social epidemiology and community-based participatory research, critical feminist epidemiology can be a useful research approach to generate novel evidence to inform action toward health equity for communities and populations. This article is part of a Special Collection on Methods in Social Epidemiology.

行动中的批判女权主义流行病学:Mujeres Unidas y Activas 与学术研究人员之间的多学科合作反思。
批判女权主义研究关注社会不平等现象,鼓励研究人员与参与者之间建立公平的伙伴关系,并承认研究本身可能具有政治性。在批判女权主义研究实践、社区参与式研究以及社会和结构流行病学的基础上,我们提出了批判女权主义流行病学方法。批判女权主义流行病学方法可以研究社区和人口健康的不平等现象,通过以少数性别人群的生活经历为中心的研究过程,确定减少不平等现象的干预措施。我们将介绍我们的跨学科、社区领导的团队是如何在一个公共卫生应用研究项目中使用批判性女权主义流行病学方法的。Mujeres Unidas y Activas 是一个由拉丁裔和土著移民妇女领导并为她们服务的非营利性社区组织,该组织与学术研究人员合作,围绕她们建设社区力量的方法如何影响组织成员及其家人的健康和福祉开展社区主导的研究。批判女权主义流行病学是一种很有前途的研究方法,它立足于妇女和性别扩张者的生活,并与之息息相关。在社会流行病学和社区参与式研究的基础上,批判性女性主义流行病学可以成为一种有用的研究方法,产生新的证据,为社区和人口的健康公平行动提供信息。
