2 Credits.

Introduces gender analysis as an integral part of health systems research (HSR). Focuses on training students on how to incorporate gender analysis into HSR in LMIC settings. Explores how gender analysis can be incorporated into: (1) HSR content, i.e. the substantive focus of HSR – through the use of sex disaggregated data, gender frameworks and gender analysis questions; (2) HSR process – how HSR itself is imbued by power relations during data collection and analysis; and 3) HSR outcomes – how gender inequities in health systems can be transformed progressively or at least not exacerbated.
