BACKGROUND: Historically, dietetics has been strongly gendered. Recent data indicates that 94% of practitioners identify as women. The Academy is committed to enhancing diversity and inclusion. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to explore cisgender men's experiences in the dietetics profession in the USA. DESIGN: As part of a larger study, this was a qualitative analysis of three open-ended items from a 60-item survey instrument that was delivered electronically. The survey instrument was expert reviewed. Additionally, 9 cognitive interviews and a pilot test were conducted. PARTICIPANTS: The Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR) provided the contact information for all Registered Dietitian Nutritionists who self-identified as male (N=3,697) and a subset of those who did not list a gender in CDR's records (in total n=5,003). Of those, 100 were invited to pilot the survey and were excluded from final analysis. The final survey was distributed to the remaining 4,903 people on the contact list. Cis-gender men responding to at least one open-ended item were included in this analysis (n=1,065). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: To gain a rich understanding of cis-gender men's experience in the dietetics profession through analyzing their open-ended survey responses. ANALYSES PERFORMED: The Coding Reliability Thematic Analysis method was used to analyze open-ended responses. Two researchers coded 150 responses independently and reached substantial intercoder agreement (Cohen's K = .80). One researcher coded the full data set, the second checked the coding. Member checking and a data audit were conducted to increase trustworthiness. RESULTS: With about one-third of the entire population of men dietitians (n=1,065), three themes were identified. (1) Being a man in dietetics: Unproblematic with some advantages (84.1%), (2) Dietetics is a gendered field (49.8%), and (3) Perceived gender barriers and isolation (48.4%). CONCLUSIONS: As part of the profession's commitment to diversity and inclusion, it is important to explore underrepresented group's experiences. The majority of men have not found it problematic to be men in the dietetics profession, however, there are challenges associated with it being gendered and there are perceived barriers.
