Improving Recruitment Through Social Media and Web-Based Advertising to Evaluate the Genetic Risk and Long-Term Complications in Stevens-Johnson Syndrome and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis: Community-Based Survey

Social media has been advocated as a strategy to improve study diversity and recruitment in rare diseases and increase accessibility for study participation [8,9]. To enhance awareness and enrollment in our community-based study, we implemented social media and web-based advertisements, measuring the utility of each channel in increasing interest and diversity.

Using Social Media to Engage and Enroll Underrepresented Populations: Longitudinal Digital Health Research

Using Social Media to Engage and Enroll Underrepresented Populations: Longitudinal Digital Health Research

Despite mandates to include these groups in federally funded research, factors such as general attitudes toward research, sociocultural barriers, and accessibility continue to hinder diversity in research populations [1,5-11]. Certain URPs, such as African American populations, face additional historical and structural barriers to research participation including low health literacy, lack of access to care, and mistrust of institutions [2].

Perspectives of Black, Latinx, Indigenous, and Asian Communities on Health Data Use and AI: Cross-Sectional Survey Study

Perspectives of Black, Latinx, Indigenous, and Asian Communities on Health Data Use and AI: Cross-Sectional Survey Study

Addressing dataset diversity and racism perpetuated by large language models is paramount [1-3]. The absence of diverse patient voices in AI discussions is a pressing matter, and current studies have been limited in diversity [4,5]. Our study examined the perspectives of racial and ethnic minority patients on the use of health data in AI. A cross-sectional survey was administered via Qualtrics to participants aged 18+ years who identified as Black, Latinx, Indigenous, or Asian.

Spillover Effects of Paid Functions on Physicians’ Unpaid Knowledge Activities: Quasi-Experimental Approach

Diversity is the distribution of differences in certain attributes among members [35]. Diversity is important for community performance, such as user diversity promoting community learning [36] and improving content collaboration efficiency and outcomes [35]. Question-and-answer communities that encourage participants to answer more new questions have a good performance in answering questions, creating long-term value and improving difficulty resolution.

Gender Representation in Authorship of Academic Dermatology Publications During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Cross-Sectional Study

Senior editors have considerable influence over journals and editorial procedures, and could help ensure diversity, equity, and inclusion in the publication process [10]. We hope that dermatology could therefore serve as a role model and set a precedent in demonstrating how proactive and intentional initiatives could address persistent systemic challenges in reaching gender equity.
