Explicit attitudes toward people with disabilities became less unfavourable over the 19 years of the study, irrespective of occupation. This effect was not observed for implicit attitudes. utppublishing.com/eprint/CXG7E... doi.org/10.3138/ptc-...

Health care professionals (physicians, physical therapists, nurses, etc.) are not immune to bias against people with physical disabilities. They exhibit similarly unfavourable attitudes as individuals in non-health care occupations. doi.org/10.52057/erj...

Clinicians & rehabilitation assistants are not immune to attitudes against people with disabilities. Implicit attitudes of healthcare practitioners were not more favorable than those of other occupations & explicit attitudes of clinicians were even less favorable. #ableism doi.org/10.1101/2025...

Double-blind peer review is detrimental to scientific integrity. Openness in the peer review process helps to expose human biases and allows them to be discussed publicly.

Sorry, my fault, I went from one thing to another. I just wanted to point out that there's a lot of papers with a quick (absent?) peer review process over there scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2020/08/10/g....
