Including intersectional indicators within AMR surveillance (draft)

Collecting indicators that relate to multiple axes of inequity (including age, disability status, ethnicity and class for example) can then facilitate an intersectional approach, which explores how different social inequities and power relations interact dynamically. This may require the use of gender frameworks for data analysis and involve qualitative and mixed methods research that seeks to understand the underlying social and structural processes that create inequities in multiple settings. The indicators and examples given in this draft guidance document may not necessarily apply to all contexts, but we have provided illustrative examples to be flexible and adaptable to different contexts. These indicators relate to individual level data. Institutional level data may also need to be collected (such as in healthcare and farming).
