Three free online courses provide training on the use and implications of considering sex and gender in research.
The Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) Institute of Gender and Health is offering free online certificate courses on the use of sex and gender in biomedical research. The three courses address the topics of (1) biomedical research, (2) primary data collection with human participants and (3) analysis of data from human participants, respectively. The course objectives are as follows:
Course 1: Sex and Gender in Biomedical Research
Objective 1: Recognize nomenclature used in sex and gender science
Objective 2: Identify methods to conduct sex and gender science
Objective 3: Critically appraise the integration of sex and gender in protocols and publications
Course 2: Sex and Gender in Primary Data Collection with Humans
Objective 1: Define and distinguish between sex and gender-related variables in a health research context
Objective 2: Identify methods for integrating sex and gender in research involving primary data collection with human participants
Objective 3: Critically appraise the integration of sex and gender in protocols and publications
Course 3: Sex and Gender in the Analysis of Data from Human Participants
Objective 1: Define and distinguish between sex-related and gender-related variables using data from human participants
Objective 2: Apply methods for conducting a sex- and gender-based analysis using data from human participants
Objective 3: Critically appraise the integration of sex and gender in the data analysis plan of research using data from human participants
Each course has a pre- and post-test to evaluate learning throughout the modules, as well as a certificate of completion that is issued following the completion of the post-test.
Steps for Using Method/Tool
The Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) Institute of Gender and Health is offering free online training courses designed to help account for sex and gender considerations in health research, with a certificate of completion available for each course. Pre- and post-test questions are required to gain the certificate of completion. While each course is self-contained, they were designed to complement each other, and are therefore ideally completed together. Additional resouces and references are also provided with each course.
These summaries are written by the NCCMT to condense and to provide an overview of the resources listed in the Registry of Methods and Tools and to give suggestions for their use in a public health context.
