Work conditions as a social determinant of health affecting Black workers in BC healthcare sector
This research project aims at understanding experiences of Black workers in the healthcare sector who work under conditions of limited job security, control, protections, compensation, and/or support in British Columbia, and how this employment affects their health.
The COVID-19 pandemic revealed and exacerbated a healthcare workforce crisis in British Columbia. This project hopes to offer a nuanced insight into this crisis and how we can create workplace and provincial policies that better support the healthcare workforce.
