Abstract
Inequities in stroke care and outcomes have been documented both within and among countries based on factors, such as race, geography, and socioeconomic status. Research can help us to identify, understand, and address inequities, and this article offers considerations for scientists working in this area. These include designing research aimed at identifying the underlying causes of inequities, recognizing the importance of the social determinants of health, considering interventions that go beyond the individual patient and provider to include policies and systems, acknowledging the role of structural racism, performing community-engaged participatory research, considering intersecting social identities, learning from cross-national comparisons, maintaining the data sources needed for inequities research, using terminology that advances health equity, and improving diversity across the research enterprise.
