This $1,000,000 project grant awarded by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) under the Research on Healthcare Costs, Quality and Outcomes (CFDA 93.226) program aims to identify best practices for preventing and mitigating the impact of sexual harassment on physician well-being. The Regents of the University of Michigan will conduct a mixed-methods study involving surveys of 3,600 physicians across 12 institutions with varying rates of sexual harassment and physician burnout. Through semi-structured interviews, the researchers will examine institutional policies and programs that have effectively addressed sexual harassment and improved psychological safety for physicians. Using a modified Rand/Delphi panel, the project will develop a graded best practices framework to guide institutions in implementing strategies to reduce sexual harassment and enhance physician well-being. The findings from this 4-year project will inform future cluster randomized controlled trials to test the effectiveness of the recommended best practices.
