Abstract:
Recent attention into sex and gender-based inequities surrounding outcomes for brain health disorders has generated momentum toward addressing what has been called the \"brain health gap.\" Importantly though, \"women\" are not uniform demographic group. In this perspective piece, we discuss misdiagnosis in stroke as an aspect of access and quality of care within brain health. Drawing on narrative data from a mixed methods study of young stroke survivors we suggest that while missed stroke isn\'t only an issue of gender, if we are going to understand gender-based gaps in access and navigation through stroke care, we have to understand how intersections of gender with age, ethnoracial identity, nationality, language, (dis)ability, and other aspects of social identity come together to create affordances as well as biases that contribute to stroke outcomes.
摘要:
最近对围绕脑健康疾病结果的性别和基于性别的不平等的关注已经产生了解决所谓的“脑健康差距”的势头。“重要的是,“女性”不是统一的人口群体。在这篇透视作品中,我们讨论了卒中的误诊,这是大脑健康中获得和护理质量的一个方面。利用来自年轻中风幸存者的混合方法研究的叙事数据,我们建议虽然错过中风不仅仅是性别问题,如果我们要了解中风护理在获取和导航方面的基于性别的差距,我们必须了解性别与年龄的交集,种族身份,国籍,语言,(DIS)能力,和社会认同的其他方面共同创造了导致中风结果的负担能力和偏见。
