Abstract

Objective

The American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy’s Social and Administrative Sciences Section and the American Pharmacists Association-Academy of Pharmaceutical Research and Science’s Economic, Social and Administrative Sciences Section formed a Gender Equity Task Force to determine if there is evidence to suggest that there is gender disparity in pay; responsibilities; treatment by peers/colleagues, students, and administration; leadership opportunities; and rank, tenure status, and career advancement for Section members; and to develop recommendations to address existing disparities.

Methods

A Qualtrics survey was emailed in December 2020 to all American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy’s Social and Administrative Sciences and American Pharmacists Association-Academy of Pharmaceutical Research and Science’s Economic, Social and Administrative Sciences Section members. The questionnaire included items regarding favorability toward men or women in various academic domains (research, teaching, service, recruitment, mentoring, and advancement). Participants were asked if they had experienced gender inequity, and if so, at what type of institution and academic rank. The χ² tests of independence and post hoc comparisons were used to assess item responses according to gender.

Results

Of the respondents, 72% indicated that they had experienced gender inequity. Women and persons of color were more likely to do so. Women commonly reported that men received more favorable treatment in nearly all academic domains, whereas men reported that women and men were treated equally.

Conclusion

Pharmacy faculty specializing in social and administrative sciences reported experiences of gender inequity and perceptions of gender inequity. Perception gaps existed between male and female faculty in numerous academic domains. Colleges and schools of pharmacy should increase awareness of, and strive to self-assess, gender inequity in their institutions.

社会与行政科学药学系教师的性别平等观念：AACP-APhA 特别工作组报告。

目的：美国药学院协会社会与行政科学分会（AACP SAS）和美国药剂师协会-药物研究与科学院经济、社会与行政科学分会（APhA-APRS ESAS）成立了一个性别平等工作组，以确定是否有证据表明该分会成员在以下方面存在性别差异：薪酬；职责；同行/同事、学生和行政人员的待遇；领导机会；职级、终身职位和职业晋升；并提出解决现有差异的建议：2020 年 12 月，通过电子邮件向所有 AACP SAS 和 APhA-APRS ESAS 分部成员发送了一份 Qualtrics 调查问卷。调查问卷包括在各个学术领域（研究、教学、服务、招聘、指导和晋升）对男性或女性的偏好度项目。问卷还询问参与者是否经历过性别不平等，如果经历过，是在哪类机构和哪种学术级别。结果显示，72%的受访者认为自己曾经历过性别不平等：72%的受访者表示他们经历过性别不平等。女性和有色人种更有可能遇到这种情况。女性通常表示，男性在几乎所有学术领域都获得了更有利的待遇，而男性则表示，女性和男性获得了相同的待遇：结论：社会与行政科学药学系教师报告了性别不平等的经历以及对性别平等的看法。在许多学术领域，男女教师之间存在认知差距。药学院和药学系应提高对性别不平等的认识，并努力对其机构中的性别不平等进行自我评估。
