Measure
Patient Focus Groups
Identify patient preferences for constructs, and related outcomes, that reflect the expression of implicit bias in clinical encounters. I Focus Groups: Investigators will use qualitative methods to gather data on the elements associated with the patient perception of implicit bias (e.g. communication, respect, patient-centeredness) to ensure that our selected outcomes reflect the breadth of patients' concerns.
Stakeholders Cognitive Interviews
Investigators will conduct a series of semi-structured interviews. Cognitive Interviews: To gather insights from stakeholders regarding how to best refine the design of our existing implicit bias intervention to ensure that we have addressed potential facilitators and barriers to uptake, use, and sustainability
Pilot Testing of Implicit Bias Training
Refined intervention emerging from Aim 2. T Pilot Testing of Implicit Bias Training: Determine the feasibility of delivering the refined implicit bias reduction intervention and assessing patient centered outcomes by giving providers a refined implicit bias training.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 4 hours (post-training)

Population: Data not collected.

Investigators will judge the trial as feasible if at least 50% of eligible providers agree to participate.

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 4 hours (post-training)

Population: Primary outcome was only measured for participants enrolled in Aim 3.

At least 80% of those enrolled complete the trial (attend both sessions); and achieve at least 75% adherence to all intervention activities and exercises.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 4 hours (post-training)

Population: Data not collected.

Investigators will also gather provider data (age, sex, race, practice characteristics, time in practice, etc.) via self-report and assess and variability in outcomes by these characteristics.

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: baseline, 4 hours (post-training)

Population: Data not collected.

Investigators will ask participants to complete an implicit association test (IAT) at baseline and immediately following training using the Brief IAT measure, which can be administered in under 5 minutes on a laptop computer. The Brief IAT provides comparable findings on implicit racial attitudes tests, when validated against the longer IAT measure.
