The data for DDW 2018-2020 were collected via the online web-based planner. The gender of speakers of presentations and moderators of sessions were identified by a google search. We further categorized the data by each participating society (AGA, ASGE, AASLD, and SSAT), by presentation track, by session track, and total overall representation in each year.
Despite the subject of the gender gap being in focus, the proportion of female moderators and speakers was low in DDW in the last 3 years. The female speakers constituted 31.6% in 2018, 33.8% in 2019 and 34.6% in 2020. There was slightly improved female representation in sessions of Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Stomach, and Small Bowel Disorders, Microbiome in GI & Liver disease, and Basic Science over the last 3 years.
Based on our study and those referenced in this article, we believe that strategies to promote the inclusivity of female moderators and speakers at DDW provide a huge opportunity to influence gender equity within GI.
DDW2018-2020年的数据是通过在线网络计划员收集的。演讲发言人和会议主持人的性别通过谷歌搜索确定。我们进一步按每个参与社会对数据进行了分类(AGA,ASGE,AASLD,和SSAT),通过演示轨迹,按会话轨道,以及每年的总代表性。
尽管性别差距成为焦点,在过去的3年中,DDW中女性主持人和演讲者的比例较低。2018年,女性演讲者占31.6%,2019年占33.8%,2020年占34.6%。炎症性肠病的女性代表人数略有改善,胃,和小肠道疾病,胃肠道和肝脏疾病中的微生物组,以及过去三年的基础科学。
根据我们的研究和本文引用的内容,我们认为,促进DDW女性主持人和演讲者包容性的策略为影响GI内的性别平等提供了巨大的机会。
