A Diverse and Inclusive Academic Membership for All

Victor Puac-Polanco et al. Am J Epidemiol. .

Abstract

With the growing recognition that diversity and inclusion are essential for the improvement of science and innovation, we provide some perspectives on 3 findings of DeVilbiss et al. (Am J Epidemiol. 2020;189(10):998-1010). We provide points of discussion on factors and strategies to consider when drafting diversity and inclusion programs for the Society for Epidemiologic Research.

Keywords: cultural diversity; demography; societies.
