What has changed as clinicians become more aware of treatment manuals?

Practicing clinicians have become far more aware of treatment manuals, especially those who are younger and favor behavioral techniques. c. Clinicians tend to overestimate the value of evidence-based practices when they become aware of them. d.

What is the independent variable of treatment mandate?

The independent variable of treatment mandate was also a binary measure of whether or not an offender was mandated to treatment (i.e., mandated (82%) vs. voluntary (18%)). Both of these variables were obtained from treatment records.

What is the response rate of patients in clinical trials?

Among the 6 studies that used patient participants, 2 did not report response rates; among the studies that did report them, they ranged from 47% to 75% (mean = 66%; SD = 12.8%). All 15 studies were conducted in the United States, although country in which the research was published was not an exclusion criteria.

Why is it difficult to infer causality between a risk factor and an outcome?

Because cross-sectional studies are conducted at 1 point in time, it is difficult to infer causality between a risk factor (e.g., exposure to a biased health care provider) and an outcome (e.g., a patient’s psychological distress). A second limitation was the use of convenience sampling.

How do people of color affect health disparities?

Background. In the United States, people of color face disparities in access to health care, the quality of care received, and health outcomes. The attitudes and behaviors of health care providers have been identified as one of many factors that contribute to health disparities. Implicit attitudes are thoughts and feelings that often exist outside of conscious awareness, and thus are difficult to consciously acknowledge and control. These attitudes are often automatically activated and can influence human behavior without conscious volition.

Why is implicit bias important in health care?

Implicit attitudes appear to be an important target for further research in health care; however, methodological limitations need to be addressed in future studies to more fully and accurately understand how implicit bias affects care and health. In addition, researchers will need to ask more nuanced questions and use more rigorous designs and analytic methods to fully understand the role, impact, and appropriate intervention strategies for implicit bias within health care.

What are implicit attitudes in healthcare?

Implicit attitudes are thoughts and feelings that often exist outside of conscious awareness , and thus are difficult to consciously acknowledge and control.

How many studies were conducted in the US?

All 15 studies were conducted in the United States, although country in which the research was published was not an exclusion criteria. Twelve studies sampled practicing health care professionals, which included physicians, nurses, and nurse practitioners in the areas of primary care, pediatrics, internal medicine, emergency medicine, and spinal cord injury. Three studies included medical, nursing, and pharmacy students as participants. The sample sizes for health professionals varied drastically, from 14 to 2535 participants. Five studies had fewer than 50 participants, and 9 studies had between 50 and 350 professional participants. In most studies, about 75% to 80% of professionals were White, followed by small but substantial proportions of Asian professionals (10%–30%) and small proportions of Black and Hispanic/Latino/Latina professionals (0%–10%). In most studies, the proportions of males and females were about equal; however, samples tended to have more female than male participants. Six of the 12 studies that sampled practicing professionals measured their professional experience, which showed that about half had less than 10 years of experience. National estimates of physician demographics have shown that 72% of physicians are male, 74% are White, 17% are Asian, 5% are Hispanic, 4% are Black, 29% have less than 10 years of experience, 32% have between 10 and 20 years of experience, and 39% have more than 20 years of experience. 40 However, the 15 studies in this review included physicians and other health care professionals from a variety of disciplines, which may account for the demographic differences.

Why are systematic literature reviews important?

Systematic literature reviews are particularly useful in emerging areas because they synthesize what is known about a topic area, summarize the methods used to study a particular topic, and provide directions for future research.

Do health care providers have implicit bias?

Conclusions. Most health care providers appear to have implicit bias in terms of positive attitudes toward Whites and negative attitudes toward people of color. Future studies need to employ more rigorous methods to examine the relationships between implicit bias and health care outcomes.

Do clinicians have to be aware of research findings?

a. Most clinicians are fully aware of research findings and wholeheartedly embrace them in their practices. b. Practicing clinicians have become far more aware of treatment manuals, especially those who are younger and favor behavioral techniques.
