As has recently been illustrated in critiques on the astrazeneca vaccine and its side effects in women, incorporating sex and/or gender in research is of large societal and scientific importance. Yet, the implementation of sex and gender in research may not be as common or obvious for all researchers within APH. You might find yourself wondering: 'Why is it important to consider sex and gender in our research, and maybe more importantly, how can we incorporate sex and gender in research?'

To answer these questions, and help all of our researchers in creating sex- and gender-sensitive research, we aim to create an E-learning on the implementation sex and gender in epidemiological research, with a focus on how to measure and analyze sex and gender in research. In order to do this, we need your input! We gladly welcome researchers with varying degrees of experience with, and expertise and knowledge on sex and gender to join our (online) group discussion on what this E-learning should look like, the topics to be discussed, and any other critiques or comments that you may have.

Are you interested, or do you want more information? Please contact Bryn Hummel, and we will update you on a date and a time for a group discussion on this topic. We hope to see you there!
