Healthcare worker perspectives on inequity, bias and racism
29 July 2024
Does health inequity affect Australians, and what may be done about it? Dr Ieta D'Costa presents the results of research carried out at a health service in 2020.
The research will be presented in 3 sections: the first, which has been presented to some staff previously, presents results of an Australian race (Aboriginal-white) Implicit Test.
In Parts 2 and 3, we will explore health workers' perspectives on racism and knowledge of Aboriginal culture, history and health.
