The discussion examines how unconscious racial biases and attitudes impact healthcare delivery broadly and connects these concepts specifically to behavior analytic services. The presentation advances knowledge of ethics by examining the ethical implications of cultural responsiveness and implicit bias in behavior analytic practice, helping behavior analysts fulfill their ethical obligation to provide culturally sensitive and equitable services to diverse populations.
