Reducing the Impact of Unconscious Bias in Family Planning Care eLearning

This eLearning course provides evidence-informed strategies to reduce the negative effects of bias in the provision of family planning services, and to meet Title X expectations for providing culturally competent care that respects the dignity of individuals. The RHNTC developed this interactive eLearning course in partnership with Diversity Science.

Learning Objectives:

• Define conscious and unconscious bias.
• Describe ways in which unconscious bias can undermine cultural competence and impact the family planning care provided to diverse client populations.
• Implement evidence-based strategies that help to reduce the negative effects of bias in the provision of family planning services.

Note: As of February 2024, this course and the Cultural Competency and Humility in Family Planning Care: Embracing Culture eLearning together replace the previous Cultural Competency in Family Planning Care eLearning.
