  This article provides resources to design effective diversity, equity and
inclusion (DEI) interventions in physics settings. It summarizes critiques of
DEI interventions and reviews research findings suggesting that DEI
interventions show modest but positive benefits. It covers physics-specific
concerns around DEI (resistance from skeptical participants, unintended
negative consequences for members of minoritized groups). The article then
explores six design questions: 1) What are the intended outcomes of the
intervention? (with a list of possible outcomes) 2) How will the intervention
be justified to participants? 3) Will the intervention be voluntary or
required? 4) Who will the participants be? 5) What activities will the
intervention consist of? (with suggested activities paired to outcomes) 6) How
will you know whether the intervention worked? (with tools used by other
researchers to measure particular outcomes, and bonus suggestions for how to
carry out publication-worthy evaluations). Each question is explored using
research results and recommendations, and illustrated using examples from
physics and other STEM settings.
