Article Synopsis
- The NIH-funded Consortium of Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Disease Researchers (CEGIR) formed a diversity committee to combat systemic racism and implicit bias in the care and research of eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases (EGIDs).
- The committee established mission statements, integrated diversity discussions into meetings, and launched educational initiatives, such as a speaker series and a publication library.
- Their research agenda aims to address demographic understanding, reduce bias in literature, investigate health disparities, and create a framework for ongoing projects to enhance diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) in EGID research and care.
Early life exposures as risk factors for non-esophageal eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases.
Clin Res Hepatol Gastroenterol
August 2023
Objectives: Early life exposures increase risk of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), but it is unknown whether they contribute to increased risk for non-EoE eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases (EGIDs). We aimed to assess the association between prenatal, antenatal, and early life factors and non-EoE EGIDs.
Methods: We conducted a case-control study based in EGID Partners, an online patient-centered research network.
