Abstract

Background

This study's aim was to examine the relationship between health care professionals' intersecting implicit attitudes about disability and race, and their beliefs about people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Methods

We had 784 health care professionals participate in the Intersecting Disability and Race Attitudes Implicit Association Test (IDRA-IAT) and answer questions about their beliefs about people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (January 2025–March 2025).

Results

More positive attitudes about white nondisabled people, and more negative attitudes about disabled white people and/or disabled people of colour were associated with health care professionals being more likely to believe people with intellectual and developmental disabilities are more difficult patients, are more likely to exhibit ‘challenging’ behaviours, and have a lower quality of life.

Conclusions

Implicit biases about disability and race impact health care professionals' beliefs about people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and are a barrier to health equity.

卫生保健专业人员的交叉残疾和种族内隐态度与他们对智力和发育障碍者的信念的关系

本研究的目的是探讨卫生保健专业人员对残疾和种族的交叉内隐态度与他们对智力和发育障碍人士的看法之间的关系。方法于2025年1月~ 2025年3月对784名卫生保健专业人员进行残疾与种族态度交叉内隐联想测验（IDRA-IAT），并回答其对智力和发育障碍者的看法。结果：对非残疾白人持更积极的态度，对残疾白人和/或有色人种残疾人持更消极的态度，这与卫生保健专业人员更有可能认为智力和发育残疾患者是更难相处的病人，更有可能表现出“具有挑战性”的行为，生活质量较低有关。结论关于残疾和种族的内隐偏见影响医护人员对智力和发育障碍者的看法，并成为卫生公平的障碍。
