Abstract

Background and aims: The sex and gendered impacts of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) have not been adequately addressed in policies and public health efforts amongst affected patients, vulnerable women and health workers. To address these issues, we will conduct: 1. Sex-disaggregated analyses of global COVID-19 statistics and national policies. 2. Mapping of health and frontline domestic and family violence service activity, capacity and regulatory responses during COVID-19. 3. A sex- and -gendered disaggregated survey analysis of critical care responders and non-critical care health workers on the front lines of COVID 19. Expected outcomes: Results will be used to inform clinicians and policy makers in developing tailored strategies to more rapidly and efficiently target the most vulnerable during the escalating pandemic and future outbreaks. The research will contribute to longer-term policy reform to better integrate a sex and gender disaggregated approach to enhance equitable and more effective health outcomes.
