| Abstract | The present article reviews implicit bias among health care providers and its influence on African Ameri- cans in the United States and provides critical analysis of the Implicit Association Test (IAT), a commonly used measure to assess implicit bias. Empirical evidence confirms the widespread presence of implicit bias among health care providers in the United States. African Americans have typically reported a lack of communication, misdiagnoses, and inadequate treatment from their health care providers. It is also revealed that health care providers are likely to favor White patients over Black patients and view Black patients as less cooperative. All the studies discussed in the present article make use of the Implicit Association Test (IAT) in order to measure implicit bias. Due to some loopholes of the measure, the article aimed to provide future directions in order to overcome the limitations of the existing research on implicit bias by proposing alternate methodological considerations. |
