Descriptif

It has been demonstrated that social inequalities in sexual health vary according to sex, age, educational level, social class, sexual orientation, and ethnic or migratory background. However, few studies have examined how these characteristics combine to produce distinct patterns of inequality. Drawing on the theoretical framework of intersectionality, this research proposes a novel approach that simultaneously accounts for these characteristics to study inequalities in access to sexual health prevention. A comparative
perspective between France (where ethnic origin is primarily studied through the lens of migration) and the United Kingdom (where it is more commonly examined through ethno-racial belonging) will enable us to distinguish, among other things, what pertains to migration versus racialisation in the production of health inequalities. To this end, an original quantitative methodology (MAIHDA) and large-scale data (40,000 individuals) from two national surveys (CSF 2023 and Natsal 4) are employed.
