A new resource from Diabetes Action Canada researcher, Dr. Robin Mason, is now available. The Health Researcher’s Toolkit module, What Gets Counted, Counts: Paying Attention to Sex and Age in Health Research, focuses on the need to disaggregate data by sex and age
This short, interactive module outlines the reasons why it is important to integrate age into considerations of sex and gender and what can be missed when we fail to do so. As with all DAC projects, patient partners provided input to support the development of this resource. It is available in both English and French.
