Intersectionality refers to how sources of discrimination overlap and reinforce each other. It also refers to the reality that we all have many identities that intersect to make us who we are. In public health, we can apply intersectionality theory to better understand health inequalities. The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) is eager to do this. But first, PHAC needed to develop a road map of how to do so. This information is crucial for future reporting by the Pan-Canadian Health Inequalities Reporting Initiative or "HIRI". HIRI aims to track and report on health inequalities in Canada. It does so to inform health and social policy, to ensure health and well-being for all. This report helps fill the gap in evidence. It summarizes a literature review. This review explored how to apply intersectionality in data analyses of health inequalities. (From the website). Record #7966
