Join us for an interactive webinar exploring The Lancet Group's guidance on reporting race and ethnicity, which aims to increase transparency and clinical relevance, and reduce bias in publishing for better health outcomes.

In this Lancet Webinar, Editors from across The Lancet Group will:

  • Explore how disaggregating race and ethnicity data can reveal and help tackle health inequities.

  • Discuss how this guidance encourages authorship diversity, inclusive research practice, and the use of a human rights lens in writing and data interpretation.

  • Provide practical tips for all articles and answer questions from attendees.
