Abstract

Objectives

From January 2020 to the end of August 2020, preliminary research gathered data about the need for and the feasibility of an ADEA-led joint Climate Study of dental schools and allied dental programs in the United States and Canada. Informed by these findings, the first ever ADEA-led joint Climate Study took place in 2022. The objectives of this manuscript were to describe the timeline of this climate study and provide information about its methodology, specifically about (a) who participated in this research, (b) what was assessed, (c) how the study was conducted, and (d) how the results were communicated.

Methods

In 2021, the consulting company Nonprofit HR, members of the ADEA Collaborative on Dental Education Climate Assessment and campus liaisons collaborated on designing the 2022 ADEA-led Climate Study.

Results

Between January 1 and March 31, 2022, survey data were collected in the United States (N = 16,518), Canada (N = 1042), and Puerto Rico (N = 145) from 10,281 students, 2591 staff, 4026 faculty, 359 administrators, and 443 administrators with faculty positions in dental schools and allied dental programs. Social identity information about the respondents’ gender identity, ethnicity/race, sexual orientation, and ability status was assessed. Survey questions focused on assessing respondents’ perceptions/experiences with their own institutions’ climate and the degree to which it was inclusive. The questionnaire collected information about their well-being, sense of belonging and cultural competence, their perceptions/experiences with harassment and discrimination, with their institutions’ diversity, equity, and inclusion-related programming, activities, and leadership practices. Careful attention was given to how the data were collected and how the results were shared with the participating academic institutions and the dental education community at large.

Conclusions

Institution-specific results of this 2022 ADEA Climate Study were shared with the participating dental schools and allied dental programs to provide them with a better understanding of their own cultural climate. This special issue of the Journal of Dental Education provides dental educators with an overview of the results of this first ever ADEA-led Climate Study of U.S. and Canadian dental schools and allied dental programs.

2022年美国和加拿大牙科学校及相关牙科项目的ADEA气候研究：方法学考虑。

目标：从2020年1月到2020年8月底，初步研究收集了有关美国和加拿大牙科学校和相关牙科项目的adea领导的联合气候研究的必要性和可行性的数据。根据这些发现，环境署领导的首次联合气候研究于2022年进行。这份手稿的目的是描述这项气候研究的时间表，并提供有关其方法的信息，特别是关于(a)谁参与了这项研究，(b)评估了什么，(c)如何进行这项研究，以及(d)如何传达结果。方法：2021年，非营利人力资源咨询公司、ADEA牙科教育气候评估合作组织的成员和校园联络人员合作设计了由ADEA主导的2022年气候研究。结果：在2022年1月1日至4月1日期间，在美国（N = 16,518）、加拿大（N = 1042）和波多黎各（N = 145）收集了10,281名学生、2591名员工、4026名教师、359名管理人员和443名牙科学校和相关牙科项目的教职管理人员的调查数据。调查对象的社会认同信息包括性别认同、民族/种族、性取向和能力状况。调查问题侧重于评估受访者对其所在机构环境的看法/体验，以及其包容性的程度。问卷收集了他们的幸福感、归属感和文化能力、他们对骚扰和歧视的看法/经历、他们所在机构的多样性、公平和包容相关的规划、活动和领导实践等信息。对如何收集数据以及如何与参与的学术机构和牙科教育界分享结果给予了认真的关注。结论：2022年ADEA气候研究的具体机构结果与参与的牙科学校和联合牙科项目分享，以使他们更好地了解自己的文化气候。这期《牙科教育杂志》特刊为牙科教育工作者提供了对美国和加拿大牙科学校及相关牙科项目首次由美国牙医协会主导的气候研究结果的概述。
