Language barriers can reduce access to medical and virtual care. Although the topic of healthcare professionals and linguistic minorities has been studied in Canada, it has mainly been done for official languages (i.e., English and French). Non-official languages (NOLs) have not been explored previously in the healthcare system at the pan-Canadian level. The objective of this study is to determine to what extent NOLs spoken by physicians relate to those of Canadian ethnic groups and are an...

The debate stirred up by these regulations demonstrates the difficulties in...

Background: Although language concordance between patients and primary care physicians results in better quality of care and health outcomes, little research has explored inequities in travel burden to access primary care people of linguistic minority groups in Canada.

However, prior research has found that linguistic minorities often face higher travel burdens to access language-concordant care compared to the general population. Objective: This study intended to assess patient experiences and satisfaction with an online...

Malgré de remarquables avancées de recherche sur la problématique de la santé en contexte francophone minoritaire, la disponibilité de variables linguistiques complètes et cohérentes dans les bases de données nationales de santé demeure lacunaire et fragmentée, constituant un défi considérable pour l’étude de la santé des membres des communautés francophones en situation minoritaire (CFSM) et la planification de services adaptés à cette population dispersée. Cet article offre un bilan...

L'étude permet de souligner que plus les professionnels et les gestionnaires comprennent leurs obligations, tant en Ontario qu'au Manitoba, plus ils peuvent profiter des outils existants...
