摘要
本研究的目的是评估目前牙科学校课程从多元化和包容性向反种族主义和种族平等方向发展的努力。方法在横断面研究中,向67名牙科学院副院长/教务处主任和15名牙科公共卫生(DPH)住院医师项目主任发送电子质量调查问卷。调查主题包括口腔健康公平、批判种族理论、种族主义和种族主义对口腔健康的生理影响。使用描述性统计来证明频率。结果总有效率为31.7% (DPH = 6, pre - phd = 20)。回答问题的大多数受访者表示,教育计划提供了口腔健康公平(96.2%),种族主义(75%)和种族主义对口腔健康的生理影响(83.3%)的指导。只有17.4%的受访者表示该教育项目提供了CRT教学。提供这种指导的主要障碍是在提供指导的主题方面受过培训的教员有限,或者在课程中提供额外内容的时间有限。结论口腔健康公平、种族歧视及种族歧视对口腔健康的生理影响在口腔教育中得到了一定程度的探讨,但在CRT中缺乏相关的指导。需要作出更有力的努力,确保牙科学生和公共卫生学院住院医生有能力提供反种族主义和公正的保健服务;应该在牙科认证委员会(CODA)的博士预科和高等教育项目标准中纳入反种族主义标准。
Racial and oral health equity in dental school curricula
Objectives
The objective of this study was to assess the current efforts to move dental school curriculum beyond diversity and inclusion toward an anti-racism approach to racial equity.
Methods
In this cross-sectional study, an electronic Qualtrics survey was sent to 67 Dental School Associate Deans/Deans of Academic Affairs and 15 Dental Public Health (DPH) Residency Program Directors. Survey topics included oral health equity, Critical Race Theory (CRT), racism and the physiologic impacts of racism on oral health. Descriptive statistics were used to demonstrate frequencies.
Results
Overall response rate was 31.7% (DPH = 6, predoctoral Dental = 20). The majority of respondents that answered the question stated that the educational program offered instruction in oral health equity (96.2%), racism (75%), and the physiologic impacts of racism on oral health (83.3%). Only 17.4% of the respondents stated that the educational program offered instruction in CRT. The main barriers to providing the instruction was limited faculty trained in the topics to offer the instruction or there was limited time to offer additional content in the curriculum.
Conclusions
Findings demonstrate that oral health equity, racism and the physiologic impacts of racism are being discussed in dental education to some extent, but there is limited instruction in CRT. More robust efforts are needed to ensure dental students and DPH residents are competent in providing anti-racist and unbiased health care; there should be an incorporation of anti-racism standards in the Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA)'s predoctoral and Advanced Education Program standards.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Public Health Dentistry is devoted to the advancement of public health dentistry through the exploration of related research, practice, and policy developments. Three main types of articles are published: original research articles that provide a significant contribution to knowledge in the breadth of dental public health, including oral epidemiology, dental health services, the behavioral sciences, and the public health practice areas of assessment, policy development, and assurance; methods articles that report the development and testing of new approaches to research design, data collection and analysis, or the delivery of public health services; and review articles that synthesize previous research in the discipline and provide guidance to others conducting research as well as to policy makers, managers, and other dental public health practitioners.
