解决持续和普遍的健康不平等是全球道德要求,COVID-19大流行的社会和健康影响突出了这一点。观察性研究可以帮助我们理解基于性别交叉的健康和结构压迫的影响,种族,种族,年龄和其他因素,因为他们经常收集这些数据。然而,加强流行病学观察研究报告(STROBE)指南,不提供与健康公平报告相关的指导。该项目的目标是开发STROBE-Equity报告指南扩展。
我们组建了一个跨多个领域的多元化团队,包括性别,年龄,种族,土著背景,学科,地理位置,健康不平等和决策组织的生活经验。使用包容性,综合知识翻译方法,我们将实施一个五阶段计划,其中包括:(1)评估已发表的观察性研究中的健康公平性报告,(2)寻求国际上对项目的广泛反馈,以改善卫生公平的报告,(3)在知识用户和研究人员之间建立共识,(4)与土著贡献者合作评估与全球经历过殖民压迫性遗产的土著人民的相关性,(5)广泛传播并寻求相关知识用户的认可。我们将使用社交媒体寻求外部合作者的意见,邮件列表和其他沟通渠道。
实现可持续发展目标等全球要务(例如,SDG10减少了不平等,SDG3良好的健康和福祉)要求在研究中促进健康公平。实施STROBE-Equity准则将通过更好的报告来更好地认识和理解健康不平等。我们将广泛传播报告指南,提供工具,使期刊编辑能够采用和使用,作者,和资助机构,使用针对特定受众量身定制的不同策略。
Addressing persistent and pervasive health inequities is a global moral imperative, which has been highlighted and magnified by the societal and health impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Observational studies can aid our understanding of the impact of health and structural oppression based on the intersection of gender, race, ethnicity, age and other factors, as they frequently collect this data. However, the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE)
guideline, does not provide guidance related to reporting of health equity. The goal of this project is to develop a STROBE-Equity reporting
guideline extension.
We assembled a diverse team across multiple domains, including gender, age, ethnicity, Indigenous background, disciplines, geographies, lived experience of health inequity and decision-making organizations. Using an inclusive, integrated knowledge translation approach, we will implement a five-phase plan which will include: (1) assessing the reporting of health equity in published observational studies, (2) seeking wide international feedback on items to improve reporting of health equity, (3) establishing
consensus amongst knowledge users and researchers, (4) evaluating in partnership with Indigenous contributors the relevance to Indigenous peoples who have globally experienced the oppressive legacy of colonization, and (5) widely disseminating and seeking endorsement from relevant knowledge users. We will seek input from external collaborators using social media, mailing lists and other communication channels.
Achieving global imperatives such as the Sustainable Development Goals (e.g., SDG 10 Reduced inequalities, SDG 3 Good health and wellbeing) requires advancing health equity in research. The implementation of the STROBE-Equity
guidelines will enable a better awareness and understanding of health inequities through better reporting. We will broadly disseminate the reporting
guideline with tools to enable adoption and use by journal editors, authors, and funding agencies, using diverse strategies tailored to specific audiences.
