4 Small Group Reflection Exercise: Increasing Awareness of Cultural Stereotypes INTRODUCTION I. PURPOSE The purpose of the Small Group Reflection Exercise is to increase the awareness of unconscious stereotypes, and the negative impact of such stereotypes on the quality of healthcare provided. II. BACKGROUND Racial and ethnic disparities in health and healthcare exist in the U.S. 2 There is a robust literature demonstrating that racial and ethnic minorities have lower life expectancy, fewer years of health life, increased rates of death from preventable diseases, and overall poorer indicators of health. 2-8 Additionally, minority groups have decreased access to healthcare unrelated to insurance status, and are less likely to be referred for routine screening tests or specialized procedures 9-18 While these disparities primarily came to public attention following the IOM report Unequal Treatment in 2002, disparities in health and healthcare have been cited by the Surgeon General since as early as The causes of health disparities are complex and multi-level. Although, disparities in health and healthcare are somewhat ameliorated when socioeconomic status and level of education are controlled for, they are not eliminated and cannot be explained by these factors alone. 22 Evidence suggests that conscious and unconscious stereotypes, biases, and assumptions made by healthcare providers play a significant role in the decreased referral rates for specialized care. Work by Schulman and colleagues demonstrated with videotaped simulated patients of differing gender, age, and race portraying a scripted case of chest pain, that African-American women were referred less for cardiac intervention than their white counterparts presenting with the same complaints. 15 Similarly Ayanian s group demonstrated that African-American patients with renal failure were referred less by their nephrologists for renal transplantation. 16 When their nephrologists were asked their perception of the causes of the disparities in referral rates for renal transplantation, physicians responded patient preference. 18 Yet evidence documents that African-American and White patients want renal transplantation at the same rates. 17 These findings suggest that unconscious or conscious stereotypes, assumptions, or biases on the part of provider impact medical decision-making regarding referral for specialized care. III. RATIONALE Due to the findings that conscious and unconscious stereotypes play a significant role in contributing to racial and ethnic disparities in health and healthcare, several authorities recommend cultural competence training for healthcare providers The first step in effective cultural competence training is increasing learners awareness of: racial and ethnic disparities; the presence of unconscious personal stereotypes, biases, and assumptions; and the impact of such stereotypes on healthcare delivery IV. DESCRIPTION The following Small Group Reflection Exercise was developed from an exercise that is used in social science training programs, 34,35 but is not known by the authors to be in use in the education of medical students, residents, or DeGannes CN, Woodson-Coke K, Henderson T, Sanders-Phillips K. 4
5 Small Group Reflection Exercise: Increasing Awareness of Cultural Stereotypes physicians. The exercise is designed to increase participants awareness of unconscious stereotypes they might have about different cultural groups. Through self- and group reflection participants additionally become more aware of the potential influence of unconscious stereotypes on healthcare delivery. a. Group Discussion: The exercise begins with personal Introductions where participants are asked to introduce themselves by name and state their self-identified race, ethnicity, and culture. Following these opening Introductions, a Group Discussion of what are race, ethnicity, and culture? is stimulated. In groups of 10 to 15 students with 1 facilitator students are encouraged to discuss this question. To stimulate a more robust discussion, facilitators may opt to show a trigger video such as the Robert Phillips section from the Worlds Apart series. Note: the use of a trigger video, or this particular video is NOT a required component of the exercise. b. Reflection Exercise: Following the Introductions and Group Discussion on race, participants are asked to write stereotypes they are aware of for various racial, cultural and ethnic groups on Post-it notepads and then place these written stereotypes on posters with the names of these groups that are hung on the walls of the room. Note: it is recommended that posters be hung on the walls before the small group convenes. After completing this section each poster with the name of a different racial, cultural, or ethnic group will have several written stereotypes attached to it. Each participant is then assigned a poster(s) and is asked to read out loud the name of the racial, ethnic, or cultural group and the stereotypes attached to its poster. Participants may read 1 or several posters; however, it is recommended that all participants read at least 1 poster. After each poster is read out loud reflection begins. Participants are asked to reflect on: 1. Were any stereotypes posted on the groups that you identify with, or belong to? 2. Did you notice any stereotypes that you personally have for any of the groups posted? 3. Were positive as well as negative stereotypes posted? 4. How might positive stereotypes be problematic? 5. How did the experience of writing and hearing the stereotypes read aloud feel? 6. How might these written stereotypes impact medical decision-making when caring for persons of the represented groups? c. Group Discussion: Following a brief period of reflection, participants are invited to share their reflections with the group. d. Cool-Down Session: Participants are reminded of the purpose of the exercise: to increase their awareness of unconscious stereotypes and their potential influence on medical decision-making and healthcare delivery in an effort to ultimately reduce racial and ethnic disparities in health and healthcare. V. FEEDBACK DeGannes CN, Woodson-Coke K, Henderson T, Sanders-Phillips K. 5
6 Small Group Reflection Exercise: Increasing Awareness of Cultural Stereotypes This exercise is an effective first step in any cultural competence curriculum. When conducted in multiple small group sessions with a total of 114 medical students, after completing the exercise 49% agreed and 44.7% strongly agreed (93.7% combined) that they were more aware of the influence that unconscious stereotypes and assumptions had on providing effective patient care. 42 Additionally, after completing this exercise 41.7% agreed and 49% strongly agreed (90.7% combined) that they were more aware of stereotypes and assumptions they personally had or made about groups different from themselves. 42 DeGannes CN, Woodson-Coke K, Henderson T, Sanders-Phillips K. 6

Cool-Down Session DeGannes CN, Woodson-Coke K, Henderson T, Sanders-Phillips K. 7
8 Small Group Reflection Exercise: Increasing Awareness of Cultural Stereotypes a. Participants are reminded of the purpose of the exercise, and allowed to share any last thoughts. Tips: o Hang posters with group headings on the walls of the small-group room before participants enter to begin the session. o It is helpful to recommend that students write the name of the group in the lower right hand corner of the each Post-it note to facilitate placement of the stereotype on the correct poster. o When assigning participants to small groups it is recommend that these small groups deviate from any small group assignments used in other courses (anatomy lab, or other) or other areas of work to avoid potential sub-grouping within the small group discussion. Suggested Group Headings for posters: Race/Ethnicity: 1. African-American 2. West Indian 3. African 4. White 5. Latino 6. Asian 7. Native American 8. East Indian 9. Arab 10.
