Institutional and systemic barriers and facilitators affecting healthcare access for Black women in Alberta
Canada's Black population has experienced significant growth in recent years, with substantial increases noted in the prairie provinces. As Black people continue to make up a growing proportion of the population, it is important to understand their experiences in accessing healthcare services, especially for those who are multiply marginalized. We undertook a qualitative study to examine the healthcare access experiences of Black women in Canada.…

Experiences of gender-based violence among Somali refugee women
Gender-based violence (GBV) is an all-encompassing term that speaks to acts or threats that may lead to physical, sexual or emotional harm to an individual based on their gender. This paper provides a scoping review of research on gender-based violence among Somali refugee women in different parts of the world. Using the socio-ecological model as a framework, we reviewed 30 empirical studies focusing on some form of GBV among Somali refugee women…
Access to Healthcare for Black Women in Alberta
Alberta is home to one of Canada's fastest growing populations of Black people, driven by an influx of African immigrants to major metropolitan areas such as Edmonton and Calgary. As the Black population in Alberta continues to grow, it is crucial to the well-being of these communities that we understand their health service needs. Black women are a vulnerable group within the Black population due to inequities in social determinants of health su…
African single mothers and their children in Canada
African immigrants comprise an increasing proportion of Canada's immigrant population and face myriad challenges upon arrival. There are few studies that examine the experiences of African single-parents and their struggles as they try to integrate into Canadian society with their children. This qualitative study sought to highlight the experiences of single mothers and their children. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with a total of 15 …
Immigrant child health in Canada

Thus, the purpose of this review was to understand the extent and nature of the literature on the health of immigrant children in Canada. METHODS: We conducted a scoping review of the literature. The revie…
Intimate Partner Violence Interventions within Immigrant Populations
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a widespread issue in immigrant communities and has severe implications for well-being and safety. With a limited body of knowledge on IPV in Canadian immigrant communities that only scarcely informs or enhances existing programs and services, this scoping review focused on existing interventions across G7 countries (Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States) for more answe…
An Analysis of Reflections on Researcher Positionality
Reflexivity is a central tenet of qualitative research. Engaging in self-reflexive praxis allows researchers to identify areas of tension in the research process that need to be further deconstructed. In this paper, we draw on our collective self-reflective experiences as qualitative health researchers whose scholarship is informed by critical and postcolonial feminist epistemologies to offer some guidance on how to approach the concept of inside…
