Five ways to get a grip on embedding Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Accessibility into survey design for non-equity related health professions education research topics

Key Points

The aim is to develop guidelines for integrating EDIA principles into non-equity-related health professions education survey design.
Created guidelines based on five key principles: diverse knowledge sources, usability, context sensitivity, bidirectionality, and accessibility.
Focused on non-equity-related health professions education topics to ensure broader applicability.
Guidelines aim to enhance inclusivity in surveys, making them more respondent-centered.
Implementation of these principles helps ensure research outcomes align with EDIA values.

Abstract

Health professions education research must integrate Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (EDIA) principles to ensure meaningful and impactful initiatives. Embedding these principles into research methods from the outset helps maintain the integrity of the research and ensures its outcomes align with EDIA values. Recognizing the limited guidance on incorporating EDIA principles into non-equity-related HPE survey methodology, we developed guidelines to address this gap. This led to the creation of ‘Five Ways to Get a Grip on Embedding EDIA into Survey Design for non-equity related Health Professions Education Research,’ which includes guidelines for integrating (1) diverse sources of knowledge, (2) usability, (3) context sensitivity, (4) bidirectionality, and (5) accessibility. Applying these guidelines can help make surveys inclusive and respondent-centered, providing a strong foundation for enhancing survey design and embedding EDIA principles within health professions education research.
