Improving diversity in research: Successes and limitations of research team education in fostering inclusive recruitment practices and community voice

There were no statistically significant differences in outcomes between the test and control groups. Both workshop versions increased participants' self-efficacy and simple behaviors, including "thinking about community perspectives" and "identifying ways to increase community voice" at follow-up. Participants in the test group were the only ones to show a significant increase (within group) in "making <i>suggestions</i>" to their teams about using inclusive strategies (<i>p</i> = .02) and in increasing community voice (<i>p</i> = .00). Qualitative data indicate that pro-diversity activities provided participants with concrete ideas for suggestions and revealed persistent barriers faced by post-intervention.

Abstract

There were no statistically significant differences in outcomes between the test and control groups. Both workshop versions increased participants' self-efficacy and simple behaviors, including "thinking about community perspectives" and "identifying ways to increase community voice" at follow-up. Participants in the test group were the only ones to show a significant increase (within group) in "making <i>suggestions</i>" to their teams about using inclusive strategies (<i>p</i> = .02) and in increasing community voice (<i>p</i> = .00). Qualitative data indicate that pro-diversity activities provided participants with concrete ideas for suggestions and revealed persistent barriers faced by post-intervention.
