There has been a recent influx in the development of novel measures of structural forms of discrimination, including structural racism, xenophobia, sexism, heterosexism, and cisgenderism. These systems of power and oppression are inherently interdependent and mutually constitutive, yet a paucity of research has investigated their joint impacts; this gap is likely reflective of the limited guidance that exists regarding how to effectively combine multiple measures of structural discrimination to examine their joint impacts on population health and health inequities. In this commentary, we seek to redress this by describing conceptual and methodologic considerations for population health researchers interested in conducting quantitative structural intersectionality research - an intersectionality-informed research approach focused on examining how systems of power and oppression intersect to shape population health and health inequities.

The medical encounter represents a site where patients may be harmed, with intersecting vulnerabilities shaping the risk and nature of this harm. Sexual and reproductive healthcare is an important site for exploring this dynamic. Questions concerning how immigrant women experience sexual and reproductive healthcare abound, with researchers and practitioners calling for greater attention to a population whose experiences are underrepresented in existing literature.

Research on incarcerated men indicates low PrEP access even though HIV disproportionately affects them. Intersecting attributes - urban, incarcerated, Black, heterosexual men with substance use diagnoses (SUDs) - improves the odds of HIV transmission/acquisition. It is crucial to determine, among "key populations," who might be eligible to take PrEP.
