This article reflects on a multidisciplinary workshop addressing the evidence pertaining to tobacco use, sex, gender, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In preparation, a literature review was conducted that examined the academic and gray literature on tobacco, COPD, and gender and women, with a view to assessing if and how these literatures spoke to each other. These materials were discussed in a sponsored workshop (Toward a Research Agenda on Gender and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) held in Vancouver, Canada, in 2007, engaging a variety of scientists and stakeholders in assessing the issues and emergent questions. The goal of this workshop was to foster the advancement of a research agenda that more tightly links tobacco, COPD, and lung health and that reflects and investigates sex and gender issues, especially in reference to the growing rates of COPD among women. A research agenda for consideration by researchers in the fields of women's health, medicine, tobacco use, COPD, and related fields is offered.
本文反思了一个多学科研讨会，该研讨会探讨了与烟草使用、性别以及慢性阻塞性肺疾病（COPD）相关的证据。在筹备过程中，开展了一项文献综述，研究了关于烟草、慢性阻塞性肺疾病以及性别与女性的学术文献和灰色文献，旨在评估这些文献是否以及如何相互关联。2007年在加拿大温哥华举办了一场由赞助的研讨会（“迈向性别与慢性阻塞性肺疾病研究议程”），会上讨论了这些材料，众多科学家和利益相关者参与评估相关问题和新出现的疑问。本次研讨会的目标是推动一项研究议程的发展，该议程能更紧密地将烟草、慢性阻塞性肺疾病和肺部健康联系起来，并反映和研究性别问题，尤其是考虑到女性中慢性阻塞性肺疾病发病率不断上升的情况。本文还提供了一份供女性健康、医学、烟草使用、慢性阻塞性肺疾病及相关领域的研究人员参考的研究议程。
