Synopsis:Recent political activism, including the Black Lives Matter movement and the global COVID-19 pandemic, has prompted many researchers and health providers to reevaluate howdisaggregated data is collected and used to promote health equity and mitigate health disparities for Black, Indigenous, and other racialized population groups. The growing attention to healthdisparities related to racism in healthcare and other contexts has also led to the advancement of policy guidelines for the collection of disaggregated data.
For example, in 2020, the Office of the Human Rights Commissioner in BC developed a policy report emphasizing that local governments and the Anti-Discrimination Data Act (ADDA) adopt the"grandmother perspective" of data governance. This perspective emphasizes caring for, rather than controlling, socio-demographic data through practical, concrete methods of data collection, use, anddisclosure.
In parallel, there has been increased research aiming to advance human rights for racialized groups, calling for the standardization of "race" and ethnicity data alongside other socio-demographicvariables to improve health and healthcare quality. Despite rapid and evolving evidence and guidance on how to best collect "race"-based data, there has not been a comprehensive review of opinions onhow disaggregated data should be collected and used in healthcare.
The purpose of this JBI text and opinion evidence review is to better understand the uptake of recent evidence. Adopting changes in practice requires a deeper understanding of the values ofresearchers and health providers. In this presentation, we will provide a brief overview of the JBI text and opinion methodology and share preliminary findings and insights gained from our review.
