COVID 19 and Health Equity

The Middlesex-London Health Unit reports that the current risk of COVID-19 transmission in Middlesex-London continues to be very high.

Racial and socio-economic disparities in COVID-19 infection, hospitalization, and mortality have been documented in London, Ontario, as well as in Canada and abroad.

Social determinants of health (SDOH), such as gender, socioeconomic position, race, ethnicity, occupation, Indigeneity, homelessness and incarceration, are factors that potentially increase the risk and severity of COVID-19 infection.

Gender, socio-economic status, race, ethnicity, occupation, Indigeneity, homelessness, and incarceration are examples of social determinants of health (SDOH) that may enhance the likelihood and severity of COVID-19 infection. Incorporating SDOH into risk considerations and assessments is crucial for supporting an equitable COVID-19 response.

Available Training

Take the Public Health Ontario Health Equity Impact Assessment course to understand how to measure the impact of SDOH in your community and learn how to use the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care’s Health Equity Impact Assessment tool.

What does this jellyfish have to do with CRHESI and Knowledge Mobilization?

Nothing exactly. But it is Earth Day and we wanted to appreciate the amazing beauty that is around us, today and every day.

Over the next months you will see some changes to CRHESI’s web channels. As we focus on knowledge mobilization (KMb) strategies you can expect we’ll be telling you about it as we go. Why? We want to tell you about KMb as we do KMb.
We believe in transparency about our process, and informing you along the way. It’s a win-win.

Around a specific goal or set of goals, CRHESI KMb strategies include:

  • Generating awareness and facilitating engagement toward action
  • Sharing and exchanging knowledge
  • Informing decision making
  • Informing research
  • Facilitating policy change

Through this blog, we speak to you, our CRHESI partners and invite your questions, comments or feedback!

Stay tuned.
