Schematic for pool of case vignettes and randomization mechanism used in a survey-based study of how patient race and gender influence clinical decision-making among neurologists, United States, August—November 2022. Abbreviations: RRMS, relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis; PD, Parkinson disease; PPMS, primary progressive multiple sclerosis. (A) Pool of case vignettes by race and gender; (B) an example of 6 possible sets of randomized surveys. Each participant received the same 5 clinical cases, randomized by race and gender. The scenarios were presented in the same order, with the exception of RRMS and PPMS, as shown in S1—S3 compared with S4—S6.
