Canada's premier medical journal says it's eager to address the role it plays in perpetuating anti-Black racism in health care and spark broader change.
Racial stereotypes could lead practitioners to false assumptions about what's making a Black patient sickDr. OmiSoore Dryden, co-lead of the national Black Health Education Collaborative, says work on the special issues began more than a year ago when discussions began on how anti-Black racism manifests in ways that ultimately prevent research from being shared.
"And I learned new things about my own internalized anti-Black racism from doing this special issue and definitely have reflected on the way that CMAJ's processes undermine minority engagements, I would say, and put barriers sometimes to people who are not white." One of the articles in Monday's edition examines the difficulties many Black patients face in getting cancer screening, molecular testing, breakthrough therapies and enrolment in clinical trials. One of the examples given is a study of immigrant women in Ontario, which found that lack of cervical cancer screening was linked to systemic barriers such as not having a female physician or coming from low-income households.
Other pieces in Monday's edition examine youth mental health and prostate cancer in Black Canadian men.The second edition, set for release on Oct. 31, explores topics including gaslighting in academic medicine and Afrocentric approaches to promoting Black health. She says articles submitted for academic publishing are most often reviewed by editorial committees that don't include Black researchers. As a result, reviewers don't fully grasp the context of the article or question the credibility of the research and dismiss the pitch.
