6) Sex, Gender, and Other Identity Factors

Gender-based analysis plus (GBA+) is an analytical process used to assess the potential impact that identity factors, such as sex, gender, race, ethnicity, religion, age and mental or physical disability, may have on the experience of the individual. The purpose of GBA+ is to promote rigorous research that is sensitive to sex and gender, as well as many other identity factors, such as race, ethnicity, religion, age, and mental or physical disability. These considerations must be integrated into the research design, when appropriate. Please refer to Women and Gender Equality Canada’s information on GBA+ and the Sex- and Gender-Based Analysis (SGBA) section of CIHR’s website for definitions of sex, gender, SGBA and GBA+, in addition to information on applying GBA+ and SGBA to the development and assessment of research proposals.

Please answer the following questions.

a) Is sex as a biological variable taken into account in the research design, methods, analysis and interpretation, and/or dissemination of findings?*

Yes
No

b) Is gender as a socio-cultural factor taken into account in the research design, methods, analysis and interpretation, and/or dissemination of findings?*

Yes
No

c) Are other identity factors (e.g., race, socioeconomic, age, other) taken into account in the research design, methods, analysis and interpretation, and/or dissemination of findings?*

Yes
