The myth that slow test‐takers are worse students
PROBLEM: Time-limited testing, a form of assessment in which participants have a fixed amount of time to complete an exam, remains a global standard across the medical education continuum from admissions through licensure and board certification. A wide-ranging literature, however, documents how speededness, the extent to which a test's time limit alters individual performance, poses a threat to both validity and equity. Specifically, some studen…
Advancing Health Equity by Avoiding Judgmentalism and Contextualizing Care
This article examines the care of a Spanish-speaking woman with end-stage renal disease who returns repeatedly to the emergency department with complications related to missing hemodialysis. Her life circumstances suggest that she has been making difficult but rational decisions in an untenable situation, which is then readily resolved with the assistance of her care team. The case illustrates the pernicious effect of judgmentalism on patients fr…
Response Heaping in Interviewer-Administered Surveys
Response heaping (also referred to as rounding or digit preference) occurs when respondents show a preference for rounded numbers (often those divisible by five or 10). Conventional wisdom is that this is the result of taking cognitive shortcuts to make question answering easier, and as such, that it may be a form of survey satisficing. In four studies, we test this conventional wisdom for the first time by exploring whether response heaping occu…

Avoiding Free Care at All Costs
Rationing Access to Care to the Medically Uninsured
BACKGROUND: Medically uninsured patients seeking nonemergency care are not guaranteed access to services at most healthcare institutions. They must first register with a clerk who could require a deposit and/or payment on an outstanding debt. OBJECTIVES: This study examines the factors that influence whether nonmedical bureaucratic staff sign in or turn away uninsured patients who cannot meet prepayment requirements. RESEARCH DESIGN: The study wa…
