Definición del enfoque diferencial y la perspectiva interseccional: estudio multimétodo

Gender, occupation, income, and ethnicity are all social determinants that contribute to the establishment of disparities and affect people’s health outcomes. To address those disparities, comprehensive health care models such as the Territorial Health Care Model of Bogotá, D.C., Colombia: Salud a mi Barrio, Salud a mi vereda employ strategies like that of the differential approach and the intersectional perspective. The goal of this mixed-methods research was to define the terms “differential approach” and “intersectionality”. A systematic literature search and a qualitative approach through World Cafe meetings were used to gather the information. There were 33 relevant references identified, and eight World Cafe meetings with a total of 97 participants were held. A precise definition of intersectionality and the differential approach, the latter with a focus on disability, gender, and diverse sexual orientation, were established. These insights could indeed help with the design and implementation of comprehensive and holistic health-care models.
