Black communities experience inequities in access to health care, utilization of health care services, and health outcomes. The Community Stories: Experiences of Anti-Black Racism in the Canadian Health Care System research project aims to provide a deeper understanding of the experiences of Black people with anti-Black racism in the Canadian health care system and strategies of resistance and wellness. 

 

The project investigates:

• The experiences of Black people in the Canadian health care system, and

• The strategies of resistance and wellness Black people use while navigating the health care system.​

In the spring/summer of 2023, BHEC conducted the first round of interviews in Toronto, Halifax, and Winnipeg. This fall, we are embarking on the second round, which will focus on Quebec. We are conducting interviews in Montreal, Québec City, and Trois-Rivières.
