Intersectionality and Health Disparities (10A) Practice Test

A health department assessed access to telehealth visits for depression during a clinic transition to virtual care. Researchers used intersectionality to examine how broadband access (yes/no) and disability status jointly relate to completing at least one telehealth visit.

Completion (%):

• No disability, broadband: 64
• No disability, no broadband: 28
• Disability, broadband: 55
• Disability, no broadband: 17

Based on the data, which conclusion about health disparities is most consistent with intersectionality?

A study examined time to initiation of physical therapy after workplace injury. Intersectionality was used to assess how job type (salaried vs hourly) and gender jointly relate to starting therapy within 14 days.

Initiation within 14 days (%):

• Men, salaried: 63
• Men, hourly: 45
• Women, salaried: 60
• Women, hourly: 31

Based on the data, which conclusion about health disparities is most consistent with intersectionality?
