Promoting Health Equity for Indigenous and Non-Indigenous People in Emergency Departments
In Brief
An observational study for Interventions to Enhance Emergency Health Care. Completed, enrolled 5,439 participants across 3 sites.
Detailed Summary
Emergency Departments (EDs) in Canada often operate over-capacity and are under significant pressures. In this environment, particular groups of people experience inadequate and inequitable treatment in EDs, including Indigenous people, racialized newcomers, people with mental illnesses, those living in unstable housing or facing homelessness, experiencing interpersonal violence or using substances, and people involved in sex work. Stigma and discrimination in health care deter people from accessing care, interfering with effective care delivery, increasing reliance on EDs, and increasing human and financial costs. This project will develop and test a framework for health equity interventions to promote the provision of equity-oriented care in EDs.
