Growing evidence supports intersectionality theory, that interlocking systems of oppression (e.g., racism, sexism, heterosexism) may contribute to greater exposure to stressors for those with multiple marginalized identities. Limited research examining the association between sexual identity alone and C-reactive protein (CRP) – an upstream biological marker of chronic stress exposure – has yielded mixed results. The purpose of this project is to examine whether race/ethnicity, gender, and sexual identity interact to produce unequal levels of CRP. 000043618 540__ $$fCC BY 000043618 542__ $$fIn copyright - joint owners 000043618 650__ $$aRacism$$040240 000043618 650__ $$aSexism$$040242 000043618 650__ $$aC-Reactive Protein$$015943 000043618 650__ $$aIntersectional Framework$$013831 000043618 650__ $$aBiomarkers$$028395 000043618 691__ $$aOHSU-PSU School of Public Health$$041366 000043618 7001_ $$aLancaster, Jordan$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000043618 7001_ $$aChavez, Efrain$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000043618 7001_ $$aAndrea, Sarah B.$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000043618 7001_ $$aHernandez, Arielle$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000043618 7001_ $$aHuntington, Aine$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000043618 711__ $$aResearch Week$$uOregon Health and Science University$$d2024 000043618 8564_ $$9593f7b46-77c7-4251-82be-2b588a3f5d24$$s347292$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/43618/files/ResearchWeek.2024.Lancaster.Jordan.pdf 000043618 980__ $$aResearch Week
