Study: Proven Diversity and Inclusion Learning
Our study provides promising and novel evidence of the impact of online diversity education.
There is limited research on online diversity education; previous studies have not tested an online diversity education program for college students. We conducted a longitudinal randomized controlled study to test the short-term and long-term impact of DiversityEdu on college student diversity knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors. The study sample included 127 U.S. college students.
