Big IDEAs About Health Data: Guidance on Using Race & Ethnicity Data
In June 2023, BC Stats released a Guide on Using Categorical Race and Ethnicity Variables to support anti-racism research in British Columbia. This tool will help users of administrative and survey data to appropriately and consistently incorporate race and ethnicity variables into their projects. In this session, you will learn more about the guide, the challenges and lessons learned in the process of developing it, and its implications for research in British Columbia.
