Title [en]
Understanding racism in healthcare: Developing and implementing anti-racist strategies through shared knowledge production and evaluation
Abstract [en]
The project talks about racism in healthcare with diverse groups of providers and patients and through dialogue and shared learning, creates opportunities for progressive change.Despite evidence of the experience of racism by health service professionals and users, and of inequalities in health outcome for people of migrant background, there is very little discussion of racism in the Swedish healthcare system. The lack of official data around racialised categories and the emphasis on integration renders racism invisible, while very few cases of racism are reported via the official complaints system. Given the occluded and sensitive nature of racism for both professionals and patients, planned and widespread consultation, participatory methods to include all stakeholders in the provision and uptake of healthcare together with inductive qualitative analysis are needed as part of an implementation framework. Over four years, the process has 4 phases: 1 consulting participants, sampling and data collection; 2 networking and collaboration; 3 policy suggestions; 4 implementation, all of which involve dialogue conferences and consultation workshops to ensure widely informed discussion. The process of discussion, analysis of concepts and routines, peer-to-peer education and evaluation will support changed processes in the provision of healthcare to reduce institutional and individual racism. Anti-racist educational materials will be created through shared knowledge production.
