Abstract

"This briefing document is a resource for researchers who wish to incorporate gender concerns into their work in systematic and appropriate ways.
Part 1 begins with a brief account of the arguments for gender sensitivity in health research especially in the context of poverty and social exclusion. It then goes on to explore the implications of these arguments for the research process itself.

Part 2 provides a range of resources for those who wish to explore these issues further. These include articles, books and practical tools, as well as a guide to relevant websites.The main emphasis in this document is not on the reproductive health problems specific to women (or men) but on the sex and gender differences in those health problems that affect both sexes."
