Article Abstract
Perspective-taking, whether through imagination or virtual-reality interventions, seems to improve intergroup relations; however, which intervention leads to better outcomes remains unclear. This preregistered study collected measures of empathy and race bias from 90 participants, split into one of three perspective-taking groups: embodied perspective-taking, mental perspective-taking, and a control group. We drew on virtual-reality technology alongside a Black confederate across all conditions. Only in the first group, participants got to exchange real-time viewpoints with the confederate and literally "see through the eyes of another." In the two other conditions, participants either imagined a day in the life of the Black confederate or in their own life, respectively. Our findings show that, compared with the control group, the embodied perspective-taking group scored higher on empathy sub-components. On the contrary, both perspective-taking interventions differentially affected neither explicit nor implicit race bias. Our study suggests that embodiment of an outgroup can enhance empathy.

Gender discrimination in the emergency services: Female paramedic experiences in South Africa.

Background: Gender discrimination (GD), particularly that against women, remains a challenge in the workplace and paramedicine is no exception. Discrimination against women persists despite, in many cases, their being more qualified than their male counterparts.
Aim: The aim of this study was to explore GD in paramedicine using the perceptions and experiences of South African female emergency care practitioners (ECPs).
Evaluating anti-LGBTQIA+ medical bias in large language models.

Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed in clinical settings for tasks ranging from patient communication to decision support. While these models demonstrate race-based and binary gender biases, anti-LGBTQIA+ bias remains understudied despite documented healthcare disparities affecting these populations. In this work, we evaluated the potential of LLMs to propagate anti-LGBTQIA+ medical bias and misinformation.

Introduction: Black Americans have the highest prevalence of hypertension among all racial or ethnic groups in the United States. They are 40% more likely to have uncontrolled blood pressure (BP) and are five times more likely to die from hypertension compared with non-Hispanic Whites. Experiences of discrimination in health care, clinician and institutional bias, and socioeconomic and environmental inequities driven by structural racism contribute to uncontrolled hypertension in this population.

Racial and ethnic minority populations experience a higher rate of diet-related disparities compared to the general population. Culinary medicine interventions have the potential to help improve health equity among disadvantaged groups. We examined behavioral, anthropometric, and laboratory outcomes of culinary medicine interventions among racial and ethnic minority and underrepresented populations.

Every paediatrician's career includes the provision of care for children with life-limiting conditions. The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario published a revised policy, "Decision-making for End-of-Life Care," in March 2023; in this commentary we explore the ramifications of this policy for community and acute care paediatricians in Ontario and highlight principles to contextualize this beyond provincial borders. In particular we discuss its impact upon clinicians' moral distress and the importance of: i) early and longitudinal engagement with patients and families, where possible, to contextualize the role of resuscitative measures (if any) in addition to the many other important considerations concerning high quality end-of-life care; and ii) preventing bias and calibrating decision-making with clinical colleagues (including Bioethics) to ensure CPR is never withheld because of a child's such as their race, age, or disability.
