Implicit gender bias in the diagnosis and treatment of type 2 diabetes: A randomized online study
Authors' conclusion
We demonstrated that GPs have IGBs and these biases as well as patient's gender affect decisions of GP's when they are solving a diabetes vignette case. Future research is needed to understand the most important consequences of IGBs in the context of type 2 diabetes.

As reported in the abstract
- Female GPs exhibited a significant lifestyle IGB
