Research Equity in Global Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (2022 AMW)

Research Equity in Global Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (2022 AMW)

Scientific literature in global health is dominated by high-income country researchers, and recent studies have described similar trends in the global otolaryngology literature. Disparities in access to funding, protected research time, technical support, and mentorship are among many contributing factors to this inequity. As research is used to inform efforts to improve otolaryngology care, ranging from clinical interventions to national health policy, barriers limiting the involvement of particular groups such low- and middle-income country researchers are of great concern. Increasing the research output from these groups must be a priority to better understand the burden of otolaryngology disease and improve clinical outcomes through local, national and international health policy.

This panel consists of subject matter experts in global otolaryngology research and the nascent study of equity in research. During this session, they will use recently published analyses to review authorship trends by country income level and gender. They will then characterize systemic barriers to conducting and disseminating research, including lack of research support, article processing charges (APCs) for open access publication, and inequitable global health research collaborations. The panel will share ongoing efforts to improve representation in otolaryngology research around the world. This discussion will include a review of the Global Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery Initiative, an international collaboration working to improve clinical care through research and advocacy, and its published Research Equity Guidelines. The session will conclude with a reflection on avenues for individuals and institutions alike to encourage equitable research and, as a result, stronger health interventions and policy.
