目标：尽管女医生的数量增加，但学术医学中的性别不平等仍然存在。我们试图探讨在加拿大学术精神科医生的研究生产力的性别差异。研究方法：在加拿大所有17所大学精神病学系的3379名精神科医生的横断面研究中，采用负对数二项回归模型比较了女性和男性的研究生产率（以h指数和发表文章数量衡量），以产生相对比率（RR），并根据职业持续时间（aRR）进行调整。调查结果分层的学术排名，机构区域和机构规模。对那些发表了10篇或更多文章的人进行了亚组分析，作为识别研究轨道上医生的代理。结果如下：女性（样本的43%）的平均（标准差）h指数低于男性（2.87 [6.49] vs. 5.31 [11.1]; aRR，0.62; 95%置信区间[CI]，0.54至0.72）。只有初级教师的差异显着，而不是副教授和正教授。按出版物数量进行的比较遵循相似的模式（aRR，0.46; 95% CI，0.39 - 0.55）。在发表10篇或更多文章的患者（n = 721）中，男性和女性之间的h指数（aRR，0.77; 95% CI，0.68 - 0.87）和发表文章数量（aRR，0.62; 95% CI，0.53 - 0.72）的差异小于总体队列。结论：加拿大学术精神病学国家一级研究生产力的性别差异支持一项呼吁，即采取更系统的方法，促进妇女在研究中的平等机会，特别是在职业生涯的早期，以提高多样性，加强未来的精神病学研究和发现。
Objectives: Gender inequity in academic medicine persists despite increases in the number of women physicians. We sought to explore gender differences in research productivity for academic psychiatrists in Canada. Methods: In a cross-sectional study of the 3379 psychiatrists in all 17 university departments of psychiatry in Canada, research productivity, as measured by the h-index and number of publications, was compared between women and men using a negative log binomial regression model to generate relative rates (RRs), adjusted for career duration (aRR). Findings were stratified by academic rank, institution region, and institution size. A subanalysis of those with 10 or more publications was conducted as a proxy for identifying physicians on a research track. Results: Women (43% of the sample) had a lower mean (standard deviation) h-index than men (2.87 [6.49] vs. 5.31 [11.1]; aRR, 0.62; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.54 to 0.72). Differences were significant only for junior faculty and not for associate and full professors. Comparison by number of publications followed a similar pattern (aRR, 0.46; 95% CI, 0.39 to 0.55). Among those with 10 or more publications (n = 721), differences between men and women were smaller than in the overall cohort for both the h-index (aRR, 0.77; 95% CI, 0.68 to 0.87) and number of publications (aRR, 0.62; 95% CI, 0.53 to 0.72). Conclusions: Gender differences in research productivity at the national level in academic psychiatry in Canada support a call to adopt a more systematic approach to promoting equitable opportunities for women in research, especially in early career, to improve diversity and enhance future psychiatric research and discovery.
