Key Points

  • The research aims to evaluate the impact of educational workshops on diversity recruitment practices and community involvement.
  • Conducted workshops with test and control groups
  • Measured self-efficacy and behaviors regarding community perspectives
  • Collected qualitative data on barriers and suggestions post-intervention
  • Test group showed significant increase in making suggestions for inclusive strategies (p = .02)
  • Test group also reported increased community voice (p = .00)
  • Qualitative feedback revealed persistent barriers to diversity in recruitment

Abstract

There were no statistically significant differences in outcomes between the test and control groups. Both workshop versions increased participants' self-efficacy and simple behaviors, including "thinking about community perspectives" and "identifying ways to increase community voice" at follow-up. Participants in the test group were the only ones to show a significant increase (within group) in "making suggestions" to their teams about using inclusive strategies (p = .02) and in increasing community voice (p = .00). Qualitative data indicate that pro-diversity activities provided participants with concrete ideas for suggestions and revealed persistent barriers faced by post-intervention.
