How Can Gender Bias Affect Epidemiological Research?
Gender bias can manifest in various ways in epidemiological research. For instance, studies may predominantly include male participants, leading to a lack of data on how diseases affect women or non-binary individuals. Additionally, research questions may be framed in ways that don't consider gender-specific factors, resulting in interventions that are less effective for certain populations. Addressing these biases is essential for more inclusive and accurate public health research.
