Advancing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at JAMA Psychiatry

Recently, Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo, MD, PhD, MAS, Editor of JAMA and the JAMA Network, and the editors and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) editors from JAMA and the JAMA Network specialty journals, including JAMA Psychiatry, coauthored an article affirming the JAMA Network’s commitment to DEI and reviewing markers of progress in the makeup of the editorial boards across the network. For JAMA Psychiatry specifically, more than half of the respondents who disclosed their gender were women, a proportion reflecting the gender breakdown of the US and more balanced than that in academic psychiatry. In terms of ethnic origins or ancestry, nearly three-quarters had Eastern or Western European ancestry, with Central American and Caribbean ancestry a distant second. For race, two-thirds of respondents endorsed White race, with Asian or Pacific Islander and Black tied for distant second. This pattern is reflective of psychiatry in general, with racial and ethnic minoritized communities underrepresented among academic faculty. Among JAMA Psychiatry editorial board members, many ethnic and racial categories had small sample sizes such that reporting specific rates could lead to identification of those individuals, which is why they are not specifically discussed here. Despite this, we aim for transparency in the collection and analysis of these data as we continue with ongoing DEI efforts, and we hold ourselves accountable.

Meaning of Proposed Causal Inference Framework for the JAMA Network

The Special Communication “Causal Inferences About the Effects of Interventions From Observational Studies in Medical Journals,” published in this issue of JAMA, provides a rationale and framework for considering causal inference from observational studies published by medical journals. Our intent is to invite discussion of this framework, explore its application in the context of specific study designs, and actively examine how this framework could be implemented and used by authors, peer reviewers, and editors of medical journals, including JAMA and the journals of the JAMA Network. Our overarching goal is to ensure that findings from observational designs may be appropriately interpreted in thoughtful and circumspect manners and applied by readers, other researchers, and clinicians, with the ultimate goal of improving patient care and public and global health.
