“…39 This is particularly important as we try to confront racial disparities in health care and health education. 40,41 While efforts to combat racial disparities through technology are ongoing, there has been little research in this area in the clinical informatics literature. 31,42,43 We used complications of a common health condition, DM, as our test case for The Gambler evaluation.…”

Background. The Gambler II is a web-based utility assessment tool supporting visual analogue scale (VAS), standard gamble (SG), and time trade-off (TTO) utility assessments. It contains novel features, including an easy to use project development authoring tool and use of multimedia clips for health state descriptions. Objectives. Evaluate the usability and understandability of the patient-facing side of The Gambler. Investigate the feasibility of using The Gambler and evaluate its impact on patient knowledge regarding the relevant health states. Materials and Methods. We used The Gambler to assess utilities on a convenience sample of 55 users for common long-term complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus: diabetic neuropathy, diabetic retinopathy, and diabetic foot infection requiring transmetatarsal amputation. Using VAS, SG, and TTO, we collected metadata, such as time spent on each assessment and the entire assessment process. We evaluated usability with an adaptation of the System Usability Scale survey and understandability. We evaluated impact on knowledge gained through knowledge assessments about these complications before and after use of The Gambler. Results. Overall satisfaction with The Gambler was high, 4.02 on a 5-point scale. Usability rated highly at 84.93 on a normalized scale between 0 and 100. Knowledge scores increased significantly following use of The Gambler from pretest mean of 68% to posttest mean of 76% ( P < 0.01). Average time using the software: ∼7½ minutes. Conclusions. The Gambler is an easy to use and understand computer-based tool for utility assessment. It is feasible to use within clinical encounters to support shared decision making, and it has unique features that make it a powerful tool for investigators interested in research on health utilities.

“…Developers of Anti-Oppressive Design tools argue for inverting the power structures built into digital media [62,75,84]. Taking inspiration from this body of work, Hankerson et al o er concrete examples of how the technology design process frequently erases people of color [45], actively excluding along racial lines. Bringing these concerns together, Sengers calls a ention to the disproportionate in uence a narrow demographic (white and Asian, white-collar, educated, urban) have on the work of designing and imagining new technologies [45].…”

is paper draws on a collaborative project called the Africatown Activation to examine the role design practices play in contributing to (or conspiring against) the ourishing of the Black community in Sea le, Washington. Speci cally, we describe the e orts of a community group called Africatown to design and build an installation that counters decades of disinvestment and ongoing displacement in the historically Black Central Area neighborhood. Our analysis suggests that despite e orts to include community, conventional design practices may perpetuate forms of institutional racism: enabling activities of community engagement that may further legitimate racialized forms of displacement. We discuss how focusing on amplifying the legacies of imagination already at work may help us move beyond a simple reading of design as the solution to systemic forms of oppression.

“…An anarchist HCI centres power and self-determination: correspondingly, it would necessitate a re-evaluation of inclusivity in our field and of the voices privileged in the processes of design and research. It would require that we demonstratively examine systems of oppression and work to undermine them, including those relating to gender [71], colonisation [79], racism [68], disability [130], and class. An anarchist HCI requires an intersectional lens to avoid flattening the experiences of marginalized peoples [37,123].…”

“…"You are ultimately-consciously or unconsciously-salesmen for a delusive ballet in the ideas of democracy, equal opportunity and free enterprise among people who haven't the possibility of profiting from these. " [74] The last few decades have seen HCI take a turn to examine the societal implications of our work: who is included [10,68,71,79], what values it promotes or embodies [56,57,129], and how we respond (or do not) to social shifts [93]. While this is politically-motivated work, HCI has tended to avoid making our politics explicit [15,89].…”

The HCI community has worked to expand and improve our consideration of the societal implications of our work and our corresponding responsibilities. Despite this increased engagement, HCI continues to lack an explicitly articulated politic, which we argue re-inscribes and amplifies systemic oppression. In this paper, we set out an explicit political vision of an HCI grounded in emancipatory autonomy-an anarchist HCI, aimed at dismantling all oppressive systems by mandating suspicion of and a reckoning with imbalanced distributions of power. We outline some of the principles and accountability mechanisms that constitute an anarchist HCI. We offer a potential framework for radically reorienting the field towards creating prefigurative counterpower-systems and spaces that exemplify the world we wish to see, as we go about building the revolution in increment.
