Project Description
The overarching goal of our project is to establish a team of Indigenous health researchers (IHRs), health system leaders, physicians and a trainee committed to identifying and implementing action-oriented priorities and pathways to address First Nations-specific racism in the BC health care system.
Our objectives are:
- Foster a collaborative partnership between Indigenous health researchers (IHRs) and research users (health system leaders and physicians) from the OCMO.
- Build research capacity in addressing First Nations-specific racism.
- Co-host a convening space to identify gaps, challenges, and research priorities to address First Nations-specific racism.
- Co-develop a research priorities report and action plan to address First Nations-specific racism in the health care system.
The expected outcomes of this project:
- Strengthened partnerships and commitment between OCMO and CCAIHG to address First Nations-specific racism in BC's health care system.
- Identification of action-oriented research priorities and pathways to address First Nations-specific racism in the health care system.
The output of this is a co-developed action plan and report outlining key research priorities, pathways, and action items to advance First Nations-specific racism in the health care system.
