The lead researcher surveyed certified childbirth educators (n = 266) using modified versions of the Attitudes Towards Implicit Bias Instrument (ATIBI) and the CPD-REACTION Questionnaire. Most study participants (73%) reported they have participated in implicit bias education (IBE). Using a hierarchal regression, the lead researcher evaluated if years as a childbirth educator, ATIBI scores, and participation in IBE were associated with the intention to incorporate self-monitoring of implicit bias into practice. The findings of this study show that IBE increases the intention to self-monitor in childbirth educators by way of improved attitudes toward implicit bias (adjusted R2 = .430, p < .05) and suggest requirements for childbirth educators are justified.
