Participants, in small breakout groups, critically reviewed examples from two common textbooks (Modern Epidemiology and Fundamentals of Biostatistics).

Group 1 selected regression and missing data, while group 2 selected interaction/effect measure modification and hypothesis testing and two-way ANOVA. For a regression model example from Modern Epidemiology, participants recommended changing \"pregnant women\" to \"pregnant person\" for gender inclusivity and reframed \"normal\" to highlight social and structural determinants. In a missing data example, they replaced ageist and judgment-laden terminology (\"elderly,\" \"unwilling\") with \"older adults\" and \"unable.\" Group 2 discussed the importance of including biological plausibility and measurement considerations when using sex, defined as male/female, as an effect measure modification in potential analyses.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>This workshop and concomitant paper demonstrate the need for integrating EDI into epidemiology and biostatistics teaching.
