Exploring equity, social determinants of health and gender considerations for antimicrobial resistance

Abstract

Abstract This presentation will focus on three aspects related to the equity, social determinants and gender considerations relevant to AMR. The presentation will begin with a general description of how structural forces and socioeconomic inequities can result in specific population groups in society having differential exposure and vulnerability to AMR as well as suffering differential social, economic and other consequences and impacts from the associated ill health. Secondly, will be an explanation of the how the application of conceptual frameworks and approaches on equity, social determinants and gender on can shed valuable light on the specific pathways and mechanisms through which these patterns arise, and how these factors may influence the effectiveness of any initiatives and interventions aimed at tackling aspects of this global health challenge. The presentation will conclude by providing an overview of the emerging results from a scoping review on the gender, equity and social determinants considerations for tackling AMR and promising directions for inter-/trans-disciplinary research on this theme.
