It promotes an understanding of the dynamic nature of the privileges and disadvantages that permeate health systems and affect health. It considers the interaction of different social stratifiers (e.g. \u2018race\u2019\/ethnicity, indigeneity, gender, class, sexuality, geography, age, disability\/ability, migration status, religion) and the power structures that underpin them at multiple levels. In doing so, it is a departure from previous health inequalities research that looked at these forms of social stratification in isolation from one another or in an additive manner. Despite its potential use and long history in other disciplines, intersectionality is uncommonly used in health systems research in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). To orient readers to intersectionality theory and research, we first define intersectionality and describe its role in public health, and then we review resources on intersectionality. We found that applications in public health mostly increased after 2009, with only 14 out of 86 articles focused on LMICs. To arrive at 10 best resources, we selected articles based on the proportion of the article that was devoted to intersectionality, the strength of the intersectionality analysis, and its relevance to LMICs. The first four resources explain intersectionality as a methodology. The subsequent six articles apply intersectionality to research in LMIC with quantitative and qualitative analysis. We provide examples from India, Swaziland, Uganda and Mexico. Topics for the studies range from HIV, violence and sexual abuse to immunization and the use of health entitlements. Through these 10 resources, we hope to spark interest and open a needed conversation on the importance and use of intersectional analysis in LMICs as part of understanding people-centred health systems.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/heapol\/czw020","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,4,28]],"date-time":"2016-04-28T16:28:48Z","timestamp":1461860928000},"page":"964-969","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":144,"title":["10 Best resources on\u2026 intersectionality with an emphasis on low- and middle-income countries"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"31","author":[{"given":"Elizabeth","family":"Larson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of International Health Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Baltimore, MD, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Asha","family":"George","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of International Health Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Baltimore, MD, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rosemary","family":"Morgan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of International Health Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Baltimore, MD, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tonia","family":"Poteat","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Baltimore, MD, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,4,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"2020041006453081000_czw020-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"10","DOI":"10.1016\/j.socscimed.2014.03.022","article-title":"Incorporating intersectionality theory into population health research methodology: challenges and the potential to advance health equity","volume":"110","author":"Bauer","year":"2014","journal-title":"Social Science & Medicine"},{"key":"2020041006453081000_czw020-B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"312","DOI":"10.1007\/s11199-008-9400-z","article-title":"When Black + lesbian + woman\u2260 Black lesbian woman: the methodological challenges of qualitative and quantitative intersectionality research","volume":"59","author":"Bowleg","year":"2008","journal-title":"Sex Roles"},{"key":"2020041006453081000_czw020-B3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1267","DOI":"10.2105\/AJPH.2012.300750","article-title":"The problem with the phrase women and minorities: intersectionality-an important theoretical framework for public health","volume":"102","author":"Bowleg","year":"2012","journal-title":"American Journal of Public Health"},{"key":"2020041006453081000_czw020-B4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"109","DOI":"10.1080\/08038740.2012.673505","article-title":"Doing intersectional analysis: methodological implications for qualitative research","volume":"20","author":"Christensen","year":"2012","journal-title":"NORA - Nordic Journal of Female Gender Research"},{"key":"2020041006453081000_czw020-B5","volume-title":"Closing the Gap in a Generation: Health Equity through Action on the Social Determinants of Health.
