NC BERD Consortium: Rethinking Race-Ethnicity: Introducing Novel Survey-Based Measures of Lifetime Experience of Discrimination and Stress

Though race-ethnicity is not a biological variable, race-ethnicity is included in nearly every medical study and often very statistically & meaningfully significant. New measures are critically needed that will allow biomedical researchers to disentangle race-ethnicity from the true individual, interpersonal, and structural causes of health disparities. In this talk, we introduce novel measures using simple survey items to capture self-reported experience of discrimination and stress spanning the life course, agnostic to source. Early results from an employee survey will presented.

Speaker:
Felicity Enders, PhD, MPH
Professor of Biostatistics
Consultant, Department of Quantitative Health Sciences

This event is sponsored by the North Carolina BERD Consortium (Duke University School of Medicine, University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, and Wake Forest School of Medicine) and the Wake Forest Department of Biostatistics & Data Science.
