737 ACVS diplomates.
A 14-item electronic survey was sent to 2,199 ACVS diplomates between August 25 and September 9, 2021, via email. Survey items included demographic information as well as perceptions about the ACVS and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Responses were quantitatively and qualitatively analyzed.
The survey response rate was 34% (737/2,199). The median age category among respondents was 45 to 54. The median years in practice as a diplomate was 11 to 15. The majority of respondents identified as white/Caucasian and heterosexual, with male and female respondents being similarly represented. Most respondents identified English as their first language. Few considered themselves first-generation college graduates or identified as disabled. Many respondents considered DEI to be an important initiative to promote in the ACVS.
Findings suggested that the majority of ACVS respondents are supportive of DEI efforts. This study also serves as an objective analysis that can be reassessed in the future to determine the success of such initiatives.
方法:737ACVS文凭。
方法:在2021年8月25日至9月9日之间,通过电子邮件向2,199名ACVS文凭发送了14项电子调查。调查项目包括人口统计信息以及对ACVS和多样性的看法,股本,和包容性(DEI)。对反应进行了定量和定性分析。
结果:调查应答率为34%(737/2,199)。受访者的年龄中位数为45至54岁。担任外交官的中位数为11至15岁。大多数受访者被认定为白人/白种人和异性恋,男性和女性受访者的代表相似。大多数受访者认为英语是他们的第一语言。很少有人认为自己是第一代大学毕业生或被认定为残疾人。许多受访者认为DEI是ACVS中推广的重要举措。
结论:研究结果表明,大多数ACVS受访者支持DEI的努力。这项研究还可以作为客观的分析,可以在未来重新评估,以确定这些举措的成功。
