About the Special Issues
What was originally meant to be a single special issue was expanded to two given the high quantity and quality of article submissions. Alongside the articles in the special issues, one article was published in CMAJ Open and another in CMAJ Blogs. The issues focus on anti-Black racism and Black Health by centring the experiences of Black people in Canada.
The first part of the special issue was published on October 24, 2022 and the second on October 31, 2022.
