abstract="Background: There is a great need for evidence-based antiracism interventions targeting mental health clinicians to help mitigate mental health disparities in racially and ethnically minoritized groups. Objective: This study provides an exploratory analysis of mental health clinicians' perspectives on the acceptability of a web-based antiracism intervention. Methods: Mental health clinicians were recruited from a single academic medical center through outreach emails. Data were collected through individual 30-minute semistructured remote video interviews with participants, then recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using content analysis. Results: A total of 12 mental health clinicians completed the study; 10 out of 12 (83{\%}) were female candidates. Over half (7/12, 58{\%}) of the respondents desired more robust antiracism training in mental health care. Regarding the web-based antiracism intervention, (8/12, 67{\%}) enjoyed the digitally delivered demo module, (7/12, 58{\%}) of respondents suggested web-based content would be further enhanced with the addition of in-person or online group components. Conclusions: Our results suggest a strong need for additional antiracist training for mental health clinicians. Overall, participants responded favorably to novel web-based delivery methods for an antiracism intervention. These findings provide important support for future development and pilot testing of a large-scale digitally enhanced antiracist curriculum targeting mental health clinicians. ",
