Family physicians who report their race as "Other" in a single best option question find the existing categories and forced choice of one category to be problematic. Our analysis of open-text responses in the "Other" race category supports a modification in the way these data are collected to provide more accurate and meaningful ways to understand the workforce and move toward more diverse, equitable, and inclusive policies in family medicine.
报告种族为“其他”的家庭医生在单项最佳选择问题中发现，现有的类别和强制性选择一个类别存在问题。我们对“其他”种族类别中的开放文本回复进行了分析，支持修改这些数据的收集方式，以提供更准确和有意义的方法来了解劳动力，并推动家庭医学领域更加多样化、公平和包容的政策。
