Abstract

Objective: To evaluate how gender and ethnicity of panel members intersect to effect audience participation at a large European hybrid conference.

Design: An observational cross-sectional study design was used to collect data at the conference and descriptive survey was used to collect data retrospectively from the participants.

Setting: European AIDS Clinical Society 18th Conference; a 3223-delegate, hybrid conference held online and in London over 4 days in October 2021.

Main outcome measures: We observed the number and type of questions asked at 12 of 69 sessions and described characteristics of the panel composition by ethnicity, gender and seniority. A postconference survey of conference attendees collated demographic information, number of questions asked during the conference and the reasons for not asking questions.

Results: Men asked the most questions and were more likely to ask multiple questions in the observed sessions (61.5%). People from white ethnic groups asked >95% of the questions in the observed sessions. The fewest questions were asked in the sessions with the least diverse panels in terms of both ethnicity and gender. Barriers to asking questions differed between genders and ethnicities.

Conclusions: Our study aims to provide evidence to help conference organisers improve leadership, equality, diversity and inclusion in the professional medical conference setting. This will support equitable dissemination of knowledge and improve education and engagement of delegates. To our knowledge, this is the first study describing conference participation by both ethnicity and gender in panellists and delegates within a hybrid conference setting.

性别和种族交叉,减少了参加一个大型欧洲艾滋病毒混合会议的人数。
目的:评估小组成员的性别和种族如何交叉,以影响欧洲大型混合会议的观众参与度。设计:采用观察性横断面研究设计来收集会议上的数据,并采用描述性调查来回顾性收集参与者的数据。背景:欧洲艾滋病临床学会第十八届会议;一个3223名代表的混合会议在网上和伦敦举行,超过4人 主要结果指标:我们观察了69次会议中12次会议提出的问题的数量和类型,并描述了按种族、性别和资历划分的小组组成特征。一项针对与会者的会后调查整理了人口统计信息、会议期间提出的问题数量以及不提出问题的原因。结果:男性提出的问题最多,在观察期中更有可能提出多个问题(61.5%)。白人群体在观察期提出的问题超过95%。在种族和性别差异最小的小组会议上,被问到的问题最少。提问的障碍因性别和种族而异。结论:我们的研究旨在提供证据,帮助会议组织者在专业医疗会议环境中提高领导力、平等性、多样性和包容性。这将支持知识的公平传播,并改善代表们的教育和参与。据我们所知,这是第一项在混合会议环境中按小组成员和代表的种族和性别描述会议参与情况的研究。
