‘Really worrisome’: Survey suggests some Alberta doctors have anti-Indigenous biases
Two University of Calgary researchers weren’t surprised when their survey of Alberta doctors showed biases against Indigenous patients, but they were shocked by some of the comments.
“I think that that’s really, really worrisome … the social determinants of health are one of the most important factors in our patients’ lives and how they heal.” Ruzycki and Roach said in some cases, when people of privilege say they’re experiencing racism, it comes from a lack of understanding the system of power.
The survey, which had 375 respondents out of about 12,000 that it was sent to, used a “feeling thermometer” approach in two questions that asked participants to indicate their agreement. Ruzycki said the response to a demographic question in the survey was about 10 per cent, or just under 1,100 doctors. “The first anti-Indigenous bias question, that number dropped off to 375. When we asked a really uncomfortable, challenging question, people opted out.”“Where we fall down is what happens after the reporting,” said Roach. “There needs to be more reporting structures with accountability.
