Presenter Guidelines

Guidelines on Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Discrimination

In preparing your presentation, we encourage you to consider the following guiding principles that support diversity, equity, and inclusion in scientific research and communication:

  1. Some categories of diversity, such as race, are social rather than biological constructs. We encourage you to consider if the inclusion of categories of diversity, such as race, should be included in your presentation.  In many cases, including race does not add necessary information. If race/ethnicity is deemed necessary in the presentation, authors should clearly explain the source of classifications used (e.g., self-report, investigator observed, database, electronic health record, survey), and justify their inclusion in the presentation. 
  2. In presentations that highlight differences in health behaviors or outcomes by race, we encourage you, when appropriate, to explore the role of discrimination (e.g., racism, gender discrimination, etc.) in your presented work and to explore the mechanisms and impact of disparities and inequities.
