Our 2 × 2 experiment examines how news coverage on (a) implicit bias and (b) the effectiveness of interventions can influence perceptions of blame on medical professionals for health disparities and support for reform. When online news emphasized the unconscious nature of implicit bias or questioned the effectiveness of interventions, participants (N = 492) thought healthcare workers were less able to prevent unequal care caused by implicit biase…

Participants (N = 817) were random…
