This is such a critical message that I think gets lost in all the conversation about there not being enough ‘time’ or students being so busy already. Many students WANT this training - we have a responsibility to find a way to provide it

Throughout history, social scientists have used terms like race, ethnicity and genetic ancestry to describe populations from different regions around the world. These descriptors have a long history of being used in ways that reinforce health inequities and scientific racism.

Happy GW SMHS Research day! Congrats to Aileen, a talented freshman student at GW on participating in the med school’s research day. Congrats also to our colleague Lisa and her team on presenting their work re genetic counselors’ professional identities.

Particularly proud of this JAMA Network Open piece funded by National Human Genome Research Institute where we asked 294 genetic researchers whether they are currently using data from diverse ancestral groups, why or why not, and how data stewards can encourage that use? 1/

In Jan. 2024 we surveyed US adults to gauge support levels for policies that would have a positive racial justice impact if implemented. Based on that poll, we learned that reparations aren’t supported by most of the public. Read our new research brief: ow.ly/aBxR50Rhhvn

Importantly, we found that the majority of US adults support policies that would have a racial justice impact - but agreement wanes if that racial justice goal is explicit.

Read the brief and its implications below

I gave an interview to STAT on the new CMS guidelines for intimate exams on anesthetized patients, particularly Black women.

“A lot of the information that we know about gynecology and a woman’s body has come from Black women being used as guinea pigs, as experimentation”

Annalisa Merelli Keisha Ray, PhD So glad you interviewed Keisha Ray, PhD! I conducted the only national survey of about these exams. Black Americans were 3.9% more likely than white Americans to have reported receiving a non-consensual intimate examination - unacceptable racial disparity.thehastingscenter.org/news/hastings-…
