Improve Mental Health Research for immigrant, refugee, ethnic/racialized Canadians:

Our aim is to plan and develop a culturally safe framework for engaging immigrant and refugee patients in mental health research. We want to work with patient partners to develop a culturally safe framework for future training on how to meaningfully include immigrant and refugee patients in Patient Oriented Research (POR). We will also develop a plan for a POR project together, such as a summary report that can be shared with the community.

More Information:

What’s Involved:
The patient partner will join a research team and provide consultation on factors that shape and or promote cultural safety. This will include up to five research team meetings that will occur over UVic’s secure Zoom subscription and/or by phone.

Health Categories:

Depression

Eligibility:
Age: 19 Years – 65 Years Old

Patient and family partners should not be a check box on research proposals! They need to be involved right from the start. I know patient and family partners are doing their part by providing their knowledge to researchers from their lived experience.  It’s a win-win for us to work together through PVN to make sure our input drives improvements.
