Health systems and #CulturalBias have built an almost impenetrable wall around #ObesityCare. Nine out of ten Rx's for #ObesityMeds never get filled says a new study in JMCP.

Today, I'm taking a mandatory course at work on cultural bias.I learned the important distinction between stereotypes, prejudice and discrimination.

-Stereotyping is how we THINK;
-Prejudice us how we FEEL;
-Discrimination is how we BEHAVE.

Thank you to the Canada School of Public Service 🍁 for teaching me this important lesson.

Part of my #autism #diagnosis was an #IQTest. One question was about the author of the #Iliad and I faithfully answered that we don’t know that. The #psychologist’s raised eyebrow gave away that this was the wrong answer.

That was in the Netherlands. What I learned from it after I came home is that the length of Wikipedia articles is a great way to measure #culturalBias.
