A Delphi Consensus on Recommendations for Improving Research Processes
A modified Delphi-based method was used to form a consensus about addressing racial disparities through future critical care research. Nine thought leaders discussed aspects related to 4 topics: collection of race, ethnicity, and language variables; establishing recruitment plans for researchers from racial and ethnic minority groups; designating minority serving institutions; and health disparity education and community engagement. Consensus was reached when ≥ 80% of members agreed (answered with yes or with 4 to 5 points on a Likert scale).
