BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: The representation of women among practicing dermatologists has increased over the last several decades. Here, we analyze the evolving representation of women in the Society for Pediatric Dermatology (SPD) and the Pediatric Dermatology Research Alliance (PeDRA), with particular focus on the role of women as society leaders, researchers, and annual meeting speakers.
A retrospective review of SPD and PeDRA professional society leaders (SPD presidents, PeDRA co-chairs, PeDRA executive committee members), grant recipients (pilot grant recipients, team/collaborative grant recipients, William Weston Research Grant recipients), and annual meeting speakers (named lecturers at the SPD Annual Meeting, plenary lecturers at the PeDRA Annual Conference) was performed. Authors of research articles in Pediatric Dermatology were reviewed at three-year intervals from 1983 through 2019. The percentage of women among all leadership, grant, authorship, and lectureship categories was analyzed over time.
Women have represented 70% of SPD presidents since 2011 and 75% of PeDRA co-chairs since 2013. The percentage of women among first and senior authors of research articles in Pediatric Dermatology increased significantly from 1983 to 2019 (Cochran Armitage test for trend, P < .01), and women earned the majority of SPD/PeDRA pilot project grants (2008-2018), collaborative team grants (2016-2018), and William Weston Research Grants (1995-2015). At SPD Annual meetings from 2010 to 2019, women comprised 44% of named lecturers but accounted for approximately 78% of the pediatric dermatology workforce (P < .01).
Despite the widespread influence of women in pediatric dermatology leadership and research, gender discrepancies remain among named lecturer positions at national pediatric dermatology meetings.
背景/目的：在过去几十年中，执业皮肤科医生中女性的占比有所增加。在此，我们分析了女性在儿科皮肤病学会（SPD）和儿科皮肤病研究联盟（PeDRA）中的占比变化情况，特别关注女性作为协会领导、研究人员和年会演讲者的角色。
对SPD和PeDRA专业协会领导（SPD主席、PeDRA联合主席、PeDRA执行委员会成员）、资助获得者（试点资助获得者、团队/合作资助获得者、威廉·韦斯顿研究资助获得者）以及年会演讲者（SPD年会指定演讲者、PeDRA年会全体演讲者）进行回顾性研究。对1983年至2019年期间每隔三年的《儿科皮肤病学》研究文章作者进行了审查。分析了所有领导、资助、作者和演讲职位类别中女性的占比随时间的变化情况。
自2011年以来，女性担任SPD主席的比例为70%，自2013年以来，担任PeDRA联合主席的比例为75%。1983年至2019年期间，《儿科皮肤病学》研究文章的第一作者和资深作者中女性的比例显著增加（趋势的 Cochr an Armitage检验，P <.01），并且女性获得了大多数SPD/PeDRA试点项目资助（2008 - 2018年）、合作团队资助（2016 - 2018年）以及威廉·韦斯顿研究资助（1995 - 2015年）。在2010年至2019年的SPD年会上，女性占指定演讲者的44%，但约占儿科皮肤病学劳动力的78%（P <.01）。
尽管女性在儿科皮肤病学领导和研究方面具有广泛影响力，但在全国儿科皮肤病学会议的指定演讲者职位上仍存在性别差异。
