FEASIBILITY OF AN INTERACTIVE, ITERATIVE ZOOM-BASED ANTI-RACISM COURSE FOR ACADEMIC NEUROLOGY FACULTY.
Article in Research square, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: While there has been increasing education on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) for medical students and residents, neurology faculty are also in need of formal education on race and racism. The aim was to implement and evaluate the feasibility, efficacy and preliminary impact of an interactive Zoom-based anti-racism curriculum that was repeated in a new academic year to foster learning and discussion amongst neurology faculty. Methods: A Justice Equity Diversity and Inclusion Curriculum (JEDI) was delivered to Brown University Neurology faculty during 2021-2022 and again in 2023-2024. The curriculum consisted of seven Zoom-based didactics sessions and group discussions led by institutional experts in DEI. A pre- and post-curriculum survey was sent to participants, assessing attitudes, interest, and knowledge about race and racism in medicine, confidence and comfort in addressing racism, curricular and departmental assessment, and feedback. Results: Most Brown Neurology faculty (n=36, 90%) participated in at least one session of the first round of implementation. Almost all faculty members endorsed the utility of an anti-racism education, and most reported continued interest. Participants reported increased concern regarding the use of race in medical algorithms as well as increased confidence in race-based discussions. This effect was most prominent among faculty members with less than ten years of experience. Qualitative data illustrated the faculty's awareness of racism in neurology as well as a need for continued anti-racism education. Repeating the curriculum was viewed favorably. Conclusions: The majority of academic neurology faculty at our institution recognize a need for an anti-racism curriculum. Interactive, zoom-based sessions are a feasible medium for education and fostering dialogue about race and racism. Repeating anti-racism education is helpful for medical academicians.
