This study answered the following questions: (1) How do students' knowledge, attitude, and skills regarding their cultural competencies, including ethnocultural empathy and implicit biases, change during community-based implicit bias education? (2) What is the perception of students towards this type of education?

Method

This single site case study used a pre-survey and post-survey consisting of the psychometric instrument Implicit Association Test and the questionnaire Scale of Ethnocultural Empathy
