The American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP) has emphasized the importance of DEIA in pharmacy education. However, there is a lack of literature on how pharmacy educators personally perceive DEIA efforts within their institutions. To address this gap, the authors created and a validated a survey tool to assess faculty perceptions of DEIA climate at their college of pharmacy. Objective This work’s objective was to demonstrate acceptable reliability and consistency within and across each domain of the survey tool. Methods A survey with 16 questions was distributed to faculty from the AACP membership list and contained four domains: diversity, equity, inclusion, and antiracism. The survey responses were analyzed using factor analysis and reliability analysis. Results A total of 877 subjects’ responses met inclusion criteria and were used in the analysis. The results demonstrated that the survey had high reliability and discriminating validity within each domain and overall, as a scale. Conclusion The finalized tool provides a practical standardized measure to evaluate faculty perceptions of DEIA efforts in institutions of pharmacy education. This tool can help identify areas of improvement and guide the advancement of DEIA initiatives in colleges of pharmacy. Further research is needed to validate the survey in other populations. Future efforts will also explore predictors of survey scores.","journal":"American Journal of Pharmaceutical Education","year":2024,"id":464608,"datarank":0.24141568686511508,"base_score":1.6094379124341003,"endowment":1.6094379124341003,"self_citation_contribution":0.24141568686511508,"citation_network_contribution":0.0,"self_endowment_contribution":0.24141568686511508,"citer_contribution":0.0,"corpus_percentile":null,"corpus_rank":null,"citation_count":4,"citer_count":2,"citers_with_citation_signal":0,"citers_with_endowment":0,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"is_dataset":false,"is_dataset_confidence":0.9522,"is_data_producer":false,"deposit_databanks":null,"is_oa":true,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"has_version_chain":false,"published_date":"2024-01-01","fair_score":null,"fair_percentile":null,"algorithm_id":"datarank_citation_only_1hop_v6","ranking_scope":"data_only","authors":[{"id":1295568,"name":"Rania El-Desoky","orcid":"0000-0003-1331-5899","position":1,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":1295569,"name":"Andrea Stroud","orcid":"0000-0002-0731-1819","position":2,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":1295570,"name":"Alaa K.
