SCCM Resource Library-Approach to Achieving Equity in Pediatric Critical Care Research

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The presentation emphasizes the necessity of adopting an anti-racist approach in pediatric critical care research. Anti-racism involves actively identifying and eliminating racism, which is crucial for understanding and addressing racial and ethnic health disparities. Key points include defining race and ethnicity as social constructs, collecting meaningful data, and ensuring inclusivity and adaptability in studies. It highlights divergent views on race in research, advocating for a systematic re-examination of past studies and developing better variables than race. The speaker stresses evaluating the impact of racism rather than race itself and considers geographic and systemic factors in data analysis. They recommend integrating community involvement, using mixed-method approaches, and ensuring the dissemination of research does not inadvertently harm marginalized communities. At a higher level, institutions should encourage studies that delve into social determinants of health, fostering understanding of how neighborhood and individual factors impact pediatric critical care outcomes.
