Using Theater Gaming to Foster Perspective-Taking and Mitigate Bias Among Trauma Providers
This pilot study found that the theatrical intervention, "A Brain Game: Deconstructing Bias," improved trauma professionals' understanding of social constructs, enhanced perspective-taking, reduced color blindness attitudes, and increased willingness to consider bias in patient care. Despite its feasibility, moderate completion rates and single-center design limit generalizability. Further research is warranted.
