Introduction Devine and Colleagues (2012) successfully reduced individuals' implicit race bias by developing a 12-week “prejudice habit-breaking intervention”. The intervention aimed to reduce the characteristics that underlie implicit race bias which regards negative, automatic, and unintentional prejudiced beliefs about race. This research is very important as unintentional prejudices towards Black people are prevalent among White people (e.g. Devine et all, 2012) which has detrimental consequences for Black individual(s) subjected to such prejudices. These consequences involve inequities within the health system,...
