Equity, Diversity and Access
How will we address concerns that our research might replicate existing, or generate new, biased results or contribute to health inequities in access based on race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, or another legally protected class?
1. Have we sought input from a diverse community of stakeholders to identify and address potential equity concerns with our proposed research?
2. Has our research plan addressed potential inequities in access, for instance varying levels of access to mobile technology and to health care services?
3. Has every member of the research team completed our institution’s recommended trainings around diversity, inclusion, equity, and access?
