“…For the aforementioned reasons, an ethnically homogenous research team is not ideal, particularly when the team is entirely members of the dominant group and the impacts of their research fall most heavily on subordinate groups (people of color). However, an all-White research team could have still taken measures to mitigate their own potential biases by soliciting diverse perspectives and ensuring their research is inclusive of the groups that will be most affected (e.g., through community-based participatory research with communities of color, implementing a community advisory board, etc; Adams & Faulkhead, 2012; Morisano et al, 2019; Muvuka et al, 2020; Ross et al, 2010). The authors should have invited a scholar of racial bias to be part of their team.…”

Andersen et al. (2021) published an article in this journal entitled "Racial Bias and Lethal Force Errors Among Canadian Police Officers," exploring the possible relationship between lethal force errors on a simulated police recertification shooting test, stress physiology, and suspect race (Black vs. White). Finding no association between Black-White Implicit Association Test (BW-IAT) scores and shooting errors in the test, they erroneously concluded that the BW-IAT lacks validity as a screening tool to assess racially biased use of force and thereby is not useful. This article reviews the methodological problems, biased assumptions, and errors in logic made by the authors, and discusses an informed approach to understanding racial bias and police violence. It also makes a call-to-action for antiracism approaches in academic publishing. Public Significance StatementThe Implicit Associations Test (IAT) has been used to identify implicit racial bias, and there have been some calls to use this tool as part of law enforcement screening and training to help reduce police violence against people of color. This article explicates conceptual and methodological flaws in a recent study that erroneously concluded the Black-White IAT was not an adequate predictor of police officer bias.

“…Through facilitated group discussions and consensus building, we developed and disseminated culturally targeted health communication campaigns to improve health literacy on depression ("Depression is Real"), HIV ("We're in Control Now! "), and childhood asthma ("Every Child with Asthma Needs an Asthma Action Plan") (Community Research Louisville, n.d. ;Muvuka, Combs, Ali, Scott, & Williams, 2020). The CBPR examples also highlight that health literacy needs can be more effectively addressed by multidisciplinary teams comprising community stakeholders, diverse health professionals, and academics, among several others.…”

“…For this study, we will use several implementation strategies [ 26 ], including the following: (1) BCT to adapt and tailor D1D for the rural setting; and (2) technical assistance and workflow design. Grounded in the principles of community-based participatory research, BCT is a process used by partnerships of community members and academic researchers to translate medical information and guidelines into concepts and messages that partnerships believe will be relevant and actionable to local communities [ 27 - 30 ]. Partnerships develop materials and dissemination strategies that use and reflect local culture and assets to effectively move messages and materials to the desired audience.…”

Background Diabetes self-management education and support (DSMES) is a crucial component of diabetes care associated with improved clinical, psychosocial, and behavioral outcomes. The American Association of Diabetes Care and Education Specialists, the American Diabetes Association, and the American Academy of Family Physicians all recommend DSMES yet accessing linguistically and culturally appropriate DSMES is challenging in rural areas. The Diabetes One-Day (D1D) program is an established DSMES group intervention that has not been adapted or evaluated in rural communities. Objective The specific aims of this paper are (1) to adapt the existing D1D program for use in rural communities, called rural D1D (R-D1D); and (2) to conduct a patient-level randomized controlled trial to examine the effects of R-D1D and standard patient education, guided by the Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance framework. Methods This is a protocol for a pilot type II hybrid implementation-effectiveness trial of a culturally adapted virtual DSMES program for rural populations, R-D1D. We will use Boot Camp Translation, a process grounded in the principles of community-based participatory research, to adapt an existing DSMES program for rural populations, in both English and Spanish. Participants at 2 rural primary care clinics (4 cohorts of N=16 plus care partners, 2 in English and 2 in Spanish) will be randomized to the intervention or standard education control. The evaluation is guided by the Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance framework. Patient-level effectiveness outcomes (hemoglobin A1c, diabetes distress, and diabetes self-care behaviors) will be assessed using patient-reported outcomes measures and a home A1c test kit. Practice-level and patient-level acceptability and feasibility will be assessed using surveys and interviews. Results This study is supported by the National Institute of Nursing. The study procedures were approved, and the adaptation processes have been completed. Recruitment and enrollment started in July 2021. Conclusions To our knowledge, this will be the first study to evaluate both effectiveness and implementation outcomes for virtually delivered DSMES, culturally adapted for rural populations. This research has implications for delivery to other rural locations where access to specialty diabetes care is limited.
