...about how the data was interpreted and the validity of associated conclusions, such as the over-representation of BAME and Muslims, the false positives concept, and Prevent referral trends. The MDA will be examining the report closely over the next few weeks.3/3

[Muslim Doctors Association @Muslimdoctors]

It raises important issues such as the challenges with defining extremism, the perceptions of healthcare professionals about Prevent, and the lack of transparency of certain aspects of the Prevent program. However the critical appraisal of the report raises questions... 2/3

[Muslim Doctors Association @Muslimdoctors]

The MDA will be hosting a series of webinars discussing the Impact of Prevent in Healthcare. The first was today discussing the False Positives report by Medact. The report has a broad scope. 1/3

@hinajshahid highlights the very important point that data must be analysed by religion as well as ethnicity.

[Dr Hina J Shahid 💙 @hinajshahid]

Although this confirms what is known already I'm pleased that religious group as a RF is explicitly acknowledged by @TheMarmotReview @MichaelMarmot

This is why we need routine collection on data by religion for health outcomes- as I've been saying for years & will cont saying!
