Review the Bhopal BMJ article: Bhopal. Is research into ethnicity and health racist, unsound, or important science? (Links to an external site.) BMJ, 312(7096), 1751–1758. https://doi.org/10.1136/bmj.314.7096.1751

Now consider the following scenario:

A new Epidemiologic Research Center on the West Coast has just been opened.

You will Pitch an idea to the new center Director. The idea is that all Epidemiologists hired at the center will not use any ‘race’ classification in the collection or analysis of data in any of the center’s epidemiologic studies.

Produce a short video, or 8-slide PowerPoint deck that will convince the Director of the Epidemiology Research Center to not use any race classification in the research conducted. Be sure to use appropriate epi terminology that you have been learning in the course to:

• Frame the problem of using race designations in epidemiologic studies
• Engage with ChatGPT to practice persuasive speaking about race classification in epidemiologic studies. Did ChatGPT help you refine your argument?
• Support opinions with professional references (citations can be in a separate list submitted if you do a video, or as slide #9 in a PowerPoint deck)
• What are the incentives for the Research Center NOT to include race data?
