Breaking the Sound Barrier: Equity and Language Inclusion in Research

April 27, 2021 - 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm

Speaker: Casey Lion, MD, MPH is an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics in the divisions of General Pediatrics and Hospital Medicine at the University of Washington School of Medicine, and an investigator at the Seattle Children’s Research Institute. She is an NIH-funded health services researcher whose work focuses on healthcare equity, patient-provider communication, and health system navigation. Her methodological expertise relates to the rigorous evaluation of quality improvement interventions. She co-directs the Health Services and Quality of Care Research Fellowship and serves as Program Lead for Patient Navigation within the UW Cancer Consortium’s Office of Community Outreach and Engagement.

Summary
In this talk, Dr. Lion will highlight barriers to equitable inclusion of participants with limited English proficiency (LEP) in research studies, then layout techniques for addressing these barriers, using examples from her research. She will also make the case for why this is relevant to all researchers who engage with human subjects, not just those focused on health equity.
