Evaluating Inequities in Refugee and Immigrants’ Health Service Access (IRIS) in British Columbia, Canada
This project brought together information from qualitative interviews and focus groups with people who are im/migrants in British Columbia with analysis of confidential linked health and immigration data. Our goal was to better understand health services access, and generate recommendations for policies and programs that improve health, wellbeing, and access to health services, including in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
