Can Data Be Racist? Discussion
Thursday, Feb. 25,2021
9:00 - 10:00am
Zoom meetingmortality on the Black community, the impact of centuries of racism in
America have finally been laid bare on a national stage. In our roles as
clinicians, scientists, researchers, and policy makers, it is imperative that
we acknowledge that the only way to close the racial gap in health
outcomes is by identifying, confronting, and abolishing racism, including
in our data and analysis.
This is the first of three discussion seminars to allow more in-depth
discussion of the many issues brought up at the inaugural seminar in this
series on Anti-racism in Data and Analysis, "Can Data Be Racist?" in
November 2020. We will break into small groups to discuss issues with
race-adjustment and the thoughtful use and interpretation of race in
future work. Participants are expected to read Dr. Boyd et al's recent
Health Affairs article, "On Racism: A New Standard for Publishing on
Racial Health Inequities" and to watch a 30-minute introduction,
prepared by Sarah B. Andrea, Ph.D. M.P.H., ahead of the seminar.
