| Popis: | Reports have demonstrated that women overall and women physicians in particular, are underrepresented as authors of clinical practice guidelines (CPGs). This analysis used publicly available information to explore the diversity of rehabilitation-related CPG authors by gender, race, and ethnicity. Primary analysis identified authors' gender, race, ethnicity, and visible minority status. Two sets were analyzed: (1) CPGs by Department of Veterans Affairs categorized as "Rehabilitation" or "Pain" (n = 7; VA CPGs); and, (2) a set (n = 10) published in the United States (US) from 2019-2021 and were selected due to low numbers of inclusion at less than 20% women authors. Key findings are among physician authors both VA and US CPGs underrepresented women (15 [24.2%] and 27 [16.7%], respectively) and those coded as a racial or ethnic minority were particularly underrepresented. Notably, women authors overall were equally represented (92 [50.0%]) in the VA CPGs. The US CPGs had women authors were underrepresented (36 [19.0%]). Secondary analysis of the entire set of VA CPGs (n = 21) found gaps in diversity-related content. CPGs have far-reaching impact health and economic impact and addressing disparities in the diversity of author teams and/or gaps in diversity-related content is of paramount importance. |
