Building Capacity for CBR with racialized Groups: Towards a Richer Understanding of Health Disparities

Researchers identified the fact that while there are many studies on the impact of socioeconomic factors on racialized minority groups in Canada, there is little community based research in this area. The goal of this project was to use a community approach to give voice to racialized individuals and to include them in producing knowledge about their own experiences. Researchers worked with residents of the Black Creek area and focused on how income and employment affected their health and the health of their families. A participatory action research was developed through this partnership.
