Racial bias across practitioner training programmes in Aotearoa

We are seeking registered New Zealand health workers and clinical students to participate in our research on implicit and explicit racial bias.

What's involved?

The study requires students to complete the Go/No-Go association task (implicit test) and answer questions about their explicit attitudes towards ethnic/racial groups. The whole study should take approximately 30-40 minutes to complete.

The information that participants provide will be reported and published in a way that does not identify the participants personally. The survey is anonymous, and researchers will not be able to identify the participant from the given responses.

Participants can choose to go in the draw to win one of ten $50 Westfield or grocery vouchers. Details entered for the draw will only be accessible by our research team, and the study will be anonymous.
