These occurrences compounded the prepandemic structural factors that disproportionately affect historically, economically, and socially marginalized communities of color and women as highlighted by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. In response, health care organizations and regulatory bodies have shifted from the quadruple aim to the quintuple aim to conceptualize health care improvement by adding to the prioritizing of the health workforce's well-being and advancing health equity (Nundy, Cooper, & Mate, 2022). The literature presents limited and conflicting information regarding workforce well-being based on demographic background. A 2021 report by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine described the potential for race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, and disability status to alter or amplify the career impacts of COVID-19 (National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, 2021). <b><i>Methods:</i></b> In 2020, the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) convened a Women of Color and Intersectionality Initiative (\"Initiative\") to understand better and address factors contributing to the well-being challenges encountered in health systems by women of color (WOC). <b><i>Results:</i></b> Based on a rigorous review of existing data and national trends, the group concluded that WOC continue to exist and work at the margins and that the threat of \"not belonging\" is a key factor impacting their well-being.

Our primary outcome was nonadherence, defined as lack of completion of a chest CT scan within the guideline recommended interval plus a 90-day grace period.
