Growing awareness of health and health care disparities highlights the importance of including information about race, ethnicity, and culture (REC) in health research. Reporting of REC factors in research publications, however, is notoriously imprecise and unsystematic. This article describes the development of a checklist to assess the comprehensiveness and the applicability of REC factor reporting in psychiatric research publications. The 16-item GAP-REACH checklist was developed through a rigorous process of expert consensus, empirical content analysis in a sample of publications (N = 1205), and interrater reliability (IRR) assessment (N = 30). The items assess each section in the conventional structure of a health research article. Data from the assessment may be considered on an item-by-item basis or as a total score ranging from 0% to 100%. The final checklist has excellent IRR (κ = 0.91). The GAP-REACH may be used by multiple research stakeholders to assess the scope of REC reporting in a research article.
对健康及医疗保健差异的日益关注凸显了在健康研究中纳入种族、民族和文化(REC)信息的重要性。然而,研究出版物中REC因素的报告却因不准确和不系统而声名狼藉。本文描述了一个清单的开发过程,该清单用于评估精神病学研究出版物中REC因素报告的全面性和适用性。16项GAP-REACH清单是通过严格的专家共识过程、对一组出版物样本(N = 1205)进行实证内容分析以及评分者间信度(IRR)评估(N = 30)而制定的。这些项目评估健康研究文章传统结构中的每个部分。评估数据可以逐项目考虑,也可以作为从0%到100%的总分来考虑。最终的清单具有出色的IRR(κ = 0.91)。多个研究利益相关者可以使用GAP-REACH来评估研究文章中REC报告的范围。
