Six articles were identified that provided indirect insights into the status of intersectionality in ED-based palliative care for older adults. Two areas of interest were identified: (1) intersectional elements or reference to such elements embedded within the studies; and (2) the challenges of adapting quantitative methodologies to incorporate variables and approaches that would allow for intersectional analysis. This review highlights areas for future research along with recommendations for adopting an intersectional framing into commonly used methodologies.
