PG - 201-216 LID - 10.1007/s42650-021-00050-2 [doi] AB - There is growing evidence that the risk and burden of COVID-19 infections are not equally distributed across population subgroups and that racialized communities are experiencing disproportionately higher morbidity and mortality rates. However, due to the absence of large-scale race-based data, it is impossible to measure the extent to which immigrant and racialized communities are experiencing the pandemic and the impact of measures taken (or not) to mitigate these impacts, especially at a local level. To address this issue, the Ottawa Local Immigration Partnership partnered with the Collaborative Critical Research for Equity and Transformation in Health lab at the University of Ottawa and the Canadians of African Descent Health Organization to implement a project to build local organizational capacities to understand, monitor, and mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on immigrant and racialized populations. This research note describes the working framework used for this project, proposed indicators for measuring the determinants of health among immigrant and racialized populations, and the data gaps we encountered. Recommendations are made to policymakers, and community and health stakeholders at all levels on how to collect and use data to address COVID-19 health inequities, including data collection strategies aimed at community engagement in the collection of disaggregated data, improving methods for collecting and analyzing data on immigrants and racialized groups and policies to enable and enhance data disaggregation. Resume Des plus en plus d'etudes montrent que le risque et le fardeau des infections a la COVID-19 ne sont pas egalement repartis dans la population et que les communautes racialisees connaissent des taux de morbidite et de mortalite disproportionnellement plus eleves. Cependant, en raison de l'absence de donnees ventiles selon le statut ethnique, il est impossible de mesurer comment les communautes immigrantes et racialisees vivent la pandemie et quel est l'impact des mesures prises (ou non) pour attenuer ces effets, surtout a un niveau local. Pour resoudre ce probleme, le Partenariat local pour l'immigration d'Ottawa (PLIO) s'est associe au Laboratoire de recherche critique collaborative pour l'equite et la transformation en sante (CO-CREATH) de l'Universite d'Ottawa et l'Organisation de la sante des Canadiens d'ascendance africaine (CADHO) aux fins de mettre en oeuvre un projet visant a renforcer les capacites organisationnelles locales pour comprendre, surveiller et attenuer l'impact de la pandemie de la COVID-19 sur les populations immigrantes et racialisees. Cette note de recherche decrit le cadre de travail utilise pour ce projet, les indicateurs proposes pour mesurer les determinants de la sante chez les populations immigrantes et racialisees, et les lacunes que nous avons identifies dans les donnees existants. Des recommandations sont faites aux decideurs politiques et aux acteurs communautaires et de la sante a tous les niveaux sur comment collecter et utiliser les donnees pour remedier aux inegalites en matiere de sante liees a la COVID-19. Ces recommandations font reference aux strategies de collecte de donnees visant a impliquer les communautes, a l'amelioration des methodes de collecte et d'analyse des donnees sur les immigrants et les groupes racialises, et aux politiques necessaires pour permettre et ameliorer la desagregation des donnees selon le statut ethnique.
