Public health researchers are increasingly questioning the consequences of gentrification for population health and health equity, as witnessed in the rapid increase in public health publications on the health (equity) effects of gentrification. Despite methodological challenges, and mixed results from existing quantitative research, qualitative evidence to date points to the role of gentrification processes in exacerbating health inequities. Here we discuss past methodological and theoretical challenges in integrating the study of gentrification with public health research. We suggest taking an interdisciplinary approach, considering the conceptualization of gentrification in measurement techniques and conceiving this process as a direct exposure or as a part of broader neighborhood changes. Finally, we discuss existingpolicy approaches to mitigating and preventing gentrification and how these could be evaluated for effectiveness and as public health promotion and specifically as interventions to promote health equity.

通过预防或减轻中产阶级化的影响促进健康公平：理论和方法指南

公共卫生研究人员越来越多地质疑高档化对人口健康和健康公平的影响，有关高档化对健康（公平）影响的公共卫生出版物的迅速增加就证明了这一点。尽管存在方法上的挑战，并且现有定量研究的结果好坏参半，但迄今为止的定性证据表明，中产阶级化进程在加剧健康不平等方面发挥了作用。在这里，我们讨论过去将士绅化研究与公共卫生研究相结合的方法论和理论挑战。我们建议采取跨学科的方法，考虑测量技术中高档化的概念化，并将这一过程视为直接暴露或更广泛的社区变化的一部分。最后，我们讨论了缓解和防止中产阶级化的现有政策方法，以及如何评估这些政策的有效性以及如何促进公共卫生，特别是作为促进健康公平的干预措施。
