Abstract
The World Health Organization has identified gender as a “critical determinant of mental health and mental illness.” In the schizophrenia field, however, while there has been an increased focus on sex differences, little is known about how gender impacts the risk of psychosis, its expression (e.g., content of hallucinations), coping, or recovery. In this chapter, I argue for a sex-and gender-based analysis (SBGA). I outline the literatures on gender and mental health, describe SGBA, related constructs and corresponding scales, and delineate some of the barriers to conducting SGBA, equipping the interested reader with the tools to conduct SGBA in psychosis research.
