We conduct research on a wide range of services that contribute to women’s health, recognizing that women are both the majority of users of the health care system and the majority of both paid and unpaid providers of health care.
We have worked closely with a national group of colleagues drawn from the Centres of Excellence for Women’s Health Research on many topics related to women and health services. This group, Women and Health Care Reform, has examined privatization; home care; primary care; the quality of health care for women; wait times for hip and knee replacements; and ancillary work within the health care system.
At the BCCEWH, we are currently studying how women with substance use problems access primary health care in partnership with the Women’s Group from the Vancouver Area Network of Drug Users (VANDU). We are also involved a project that is examining the gendered differences of people transferring from Riverview Hospital to facilities in the Interior Health region as part of the reform of tertiary mental health services in British Columbia, in partnership with colleagues at Simon Fraser University.
