- The College of Family Physicians of Canada. (2016). Health and health care implications of systemic racism on Indigenous Peoples in Canada.
“Family physicians know that supporting a patient’s health requires trust, compassion, and mutual respect. For Indigenous patients and their families, this is not always achieved. Systemic racism has been identified as a major barrier to positive relationships between physicians and Indigenous patients and the best care of Indigenous peoples.1 This brief guide for physicians helps you understand better the role that systemic racism can play in shaping an Indigenous patient’s clinical experience, and what you can do about it. As Indigenous patients, Indigenous physicians, and allies, we are appealing to you to help us address this pervasive and harmful problem.”
- National Collaborating Centre for Determinants of Health. (2018). Key public health resources for anti-racism action: a curated list.
“Experiences of racism are widely recognized to have a negative impact on the health outcomes of Indigenous and racialized peoples. As a result, racism is a key, stand-alone determinant of health and well-being. In response to this reality, we at the National Collaborating Centre for Determinants of Health (NCCDH) have created a list of tools and resources that public health practitioners can use to understand and act against structural racism. These resources explore concepts that are described in Let’s Talk: Racism and health equity. This curated reading list points to key resources to support anti-racist action by health practitioners in the Canadian context. Resources are organized under four broad themes: building capacity, taking action, case examples and tools to support planning and implementation.”
