Despite remarkable progress, tobacco control efforts are not equitably distributed, and tobacco-related disparities continue to contribute to significant health disparities. Our premise in this commentary is that Intersectionality can serve as a productive analytical framework for examining tobacco-related disparities across and within multiple marginalized populations. Intersectionality is a theoretical framework for understanding the multiple interlocking societal systems that bestow privilege and oppression and is increasingly being to the study of health inequities. We present a model and describe how tobacco-related disparities can be understood via critical elements of Intersectionality. We conclude that the application of Intersectionality to understanding tobacco-related disparities has potential to stimulate meaningful discussion and lead to new and innovative multilevel and cross-cutting interventions to eliminate tobacco-related disparities and foster culturally safe environment in which all people can thrive.
This commentary describes how Intersectionality can serve as a productive analytic framework for examining the development and maintenance of tobacco-related disparities across and within many marginalized groups.
尽管取得了显著进展，但控烟工作的分布并不公平，与烟草相关的差异继续导致严重的健康差异。在这篇评论中，我们的前提是，交叉性可以作为一个富有成效的分析框架，用于检查跨多个边缘化群体和同一群体内与烟草相关的差异。交叉性是一个理解赋予特权和压迫的多个相互关联的社会系统的理论框架，越来越多地被用于研究健康不平等问题。我们提出了一个模型，并描述了如何通过交叉性的关键要素来理解与烟草相关的差异。我们的结论是，将交叉性应用于理解与烟草相关的差异有可能激发有意义的讨论，并导致新的和创新的多层次和跨领域的干预措施，以消除与烟草相关的差异，并促进一个所有人民都能茁壮成长的文化安全环境。
本评论描述了交叉性如何可以作为一个富有成效的分析框架，用于检查跨多个边缘化群体和同一群体内与烟草相关的差异的发展和维持。
