美国人口日益多样化反映在医疗保健专业人员治疗的患者中。不幸的是，这种多样性并不总是体现在医疗保健专业人员本身的人口统计学特征上。在美国，来自代表性不足群体的患者可能会受到来自文化刻板印象的无意认知（无意识）偏见的影响，这种偏见以使卫生不平等永久化的方式存在。无意识偏见也可以在许多方面影响医疗保健专业人员，包括患者-临床互动，招聘和晋升，以及他们自己的专业间互动。本文中描述的策略可以帮助我们认识和减轻无意识的偏见，并有助于在包括传染病领域在内的医疗保健领域创造公平的环境。
The increasing diversity in the US population is reflected in the patients who healthcare professionals treat. Unfortunately, this diversity is not always represented by the demographic characteristics of healthcare professionals themselves. Patients from underrepresented groups in the United States can experience the effects of unintentional cognitive (unconscious) biases that derive from cultural stereotypes in ways that perpetuate health inequities. Unconscious bias can also affect healthcare professionals in many ways, including patient-clinician interactions, hiring and promotion, and their own interprofessional interactions. The strategies described in this article can help us recognize and mitigate unconscious bias and can help create an equitable environment in healthcare, including the field of infectious diseases.
