Objectives:
Advancing health through informatics requires attending to justice. Recent policy changes in the United States have introduced significant barriers to promoting justice within informatics due to targeted funding cuts and hostility to science, especially science that prioritizes justice.
Materials And Methods:
We present five key principles for advancing a justice-oriented informatics agenda, synthesized from our workshop held at the American Medical Informatics Association 2022 Annual Symposium.
Results:
These principles are: (1) Recognize knowledge and methodologies across communities; (2) Acknowledge historical and cultural contexts of interactions; (3) Facilitate transparency and accountability through clear measures and metrics; (4) Foster trust and sustainability; and (5) Equitably allocate compensation and resources.
Discussion And Conclusion:
We discuss barriers to implementing these principles that have arisen since the 2022 workshop and provide recommendations for moving towards justice-oriented informatics. We offer examples of how these principles may be used to frame challenges and adapt to new barriers within BMI.

10:10The Implicit Association Test
One of the core constructs in social psychology is the notion of an attitude toward an object or person. Traditionally, psychologists measured attitudes by simply asking people to self-report their beliefs, opinions, or feelings. This approach has limitations, however, when measuring socially sensitive attitudes, like racial prejudice, because people are often motivated to self-report unprejudiced, egalitarian beliefs (despite...

13:59Reflection and Refraction
Light travels at different speeds depending on the material through which it is propagating. When light travels from one material to another, it will either slow down or speed up. In order to conserve energy and momentum, the light must change the direction in which it propagates. This bending of light is known as refraction. Some fraction of...
