Work conditions of Black workers in BC Healthcare sector |
Demographic Survey
Study purpose
The purpose of this study is to understand 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 project hopes to offer greater insight into the healthcare workforce crisis and how we can create workplace and provincial policies that better support workers.

Participants
We hope to include voices from diverse professions in the sector ranging from those who work directly with patients as well as those working to support the healthcare system in general. This includes, but is not limited to, allied health workers, nurses, midwives, physicians, personal support workers, healthcare aides, technicians, and food services and housekeeping aides.
This project welcomes contributions of those who identify as Black. We acknowledge and embrace the diversity represented by Black communities including immigrants from different settings (Africa, the Caribbean, Latin America, Asia, Europe etc.), first generation to multi-generational Canadians, to those of mixed ancestry including those with light skin tones.
Participation entails completing this survey and an interview thereafter.
