Applying the gender and one health framework to Taenia solium: Research Stage 3.

3/Design and test interventions
One Health question
Interface: AH/HH/EH
Which of the approaches to the prioritized interventions are most straightforward to implement?
What is the societal and environmental impact (health, cost and sustainability) of each intervention?
Integrated gender questions
  1. Which interventions do men and women find easiest to implement and what characteristics of an intervention do they identify as important?

  2. What delivery mechanisms for the interventions are preferred by women and men? Why?

  3. Which interventions deliver the greatest benefit to women and to men (e.g., their own improved health; improved health of the pigs they manage)?

  4. Do men and women experience different costs or barrier to applying the interventions (e.g., costs of constructing a latrine, increased workload from cleaning the latrine)?

Strategic gender questions
  1. Whose capabilities need supporting and how, for the chosen interventions to benefit women and men across other social markers (e.g., ethnicity, age, religion etc.)?

  2. What actors in the system (from households to communities all the way to national policy makers) need to be involved to ensure that the intervention benefits women and men?

Institutional support needed:
Programmatic support
See Table 2.
Wider institutional support
  • Recognition by all research partners of the importance of gender considerations including, at a minimum, taking account of the availability of men and women for training sessions.

  • Community support for gender-sensitive design of interventions including, for example, making it possible for women as well as men access new knowledge.

  • National policies influencing gendered access to, e.g., veterinary services, e.g., distribution of pig vaccines, meat inspections or health services (e.g., anthelmintics for children).
