Key Recommendations

  • Future research should develop comprehensive strategies for incorporating an intersectionality framework throughout all study stages in psychoneuroendocrinology 1.
  • Studies should move beyond subgroup analysis and examining identities such as race and gender to include other salient aspects like immigration status, disability, or health status 1.
  • Efforts are needed to disentangle race and ethnicity, as well as gender and sex, in psychoneuroendocrinology research 1.
