Implicit Bias and Public Policy • Most policies are facially neutral (i.e. race silent) but not neutral in application—i.e. they have negative or positive racial impacts. • Negative impacts that increase or support health inequities may or may not have been intentional. Positive impacts often require intentionality. • When impacts are not consciously considered during the lawmaking/decision-making process, there is more likelihood that negative impacts will result-- implicit bias is the default. http://grenetwork.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/An-Introduction-to-Racial-Equity-Assessment-Tools.pdf
