The Language of Equity
2025-08-25 14:00 - 17:00 | VIRTUAL, Portland, OR, United States
YWCA Social Justice Training
Language is ever changing and manifests our world view. When we have access to language, we are better able to understand and articulate community needs. It is important for our growth that we be mindful of the language we use, as it cultivates our patterns and determines our routes to liberation. In our ever-changing, technologically-advanced modern world, we have more access to shared language than ever before. And, in the world of equity work, fluidity and understanding of terms and definitions is necessary as we work collectively to dismantle antiquated, oppressive systems that have for too long been barriers for marginalized communities.

De-Constructing Anti-Blackness & Misogynoir
2025-08-28 14:00 - 17:00 | VIRTUAL, Portland, OR, United States
YWCA Social Justice Training
Anti-Blackness, the root of most racism and oppression in the United States, is a term that frames the specific racial prejudice inflicted upon Black/African diasporic communities by all groups of people, at a global level. Rooted in White Supremacy strategy and racism, anti-Blackness is woven into the very psychological and sociological engineering of our social systems. Centuries’-long discrimination within our social organization has not only perpetuated anti-Black prejudice within social resources such as housing, access to wellness care, education, and the political landscape, but has also fueled a prejudiced-interpersonal structure that intentionally and un-intentionally inflicts harm onto Black communities, building on generations of trauma and abuse. This workshop aims to dissect functions of anti-Blackness by providing nuance, reflection, and tools to guide participants in recognizing their own anti-Black biases, an ability to recognize anti-Black practices and policies at a macro level, and to encourage the dismantling of anti-Black practices at all facets of social existence.

Treatment Effect Estimation For Post-Market Safety Using Commercial Claims Data

Carrie Nielson, PhD – Director, RWE Generation Innovation Unit, Gilead Sciences

As real-world data become increasingly central to post-market drug safety evaluation, methodological choices are essential to ensure valid causal inference. In this seminar, we present a post-authorization safety study of an osteoporosis treatment using two large U.S. commercial claims databases: MarketScan and Optum. Key design decisions, including comparator selection informed by negative control outcome studies, will be discussed, alongside strategies for addressing confounding, informative censoring, and competing risks. This talk will also highlight transparency practices, such as clean room analytic divisions, and the use of bias analysis to assess the impact of residual confounding.
