Diversity SIG e-library

As part of the Diversity Committee’s goal to promote issues of diversity and research within the division, the Diversity SIG has compiled a non-exhaustive list of resources to help advance clinical practice and research to promote better health outcomes among historically and systemically marginalized patient populations. These resources include research on a broad range of diversity issues among various pediatric chronic illnesses and other vulnerable populations. We hope that you will find these resources helpful and also invite you to share additional resources that you may be aware of that may help to expand and enhance cultural sensitivity and competence within the field of pediatric psychology.
