Abstract

Background: Health research in Canada has insufficiently engaged African, Caribbean, and Black (ACB) people, yielding under-representation of their priorities and unmet health needs.

Objective: To understand research experiences and priorities among ACB people in British Columbia.

Methods: Cross-sectional data from an online survey was summarized using descriptive statistics. Content analysis was used for open-ended text responses. Data collection and analysis was conducted with ACB community partners.

Results: Of 56 respondents, 50.0% were aged 16 to 25 years; 78.6% identified as women. Although only 42.9% had previous research experience, 91.1% were willing to participate. Participation barriers included time constraints (53.1%) and mistrust (30.6%). Facilitators included perceived benefits to ACB individuals/communities (83.9%) and opportunities to share perspective(s) (60.7%). Research priorities included mental health, substance use, and sexual and reproductive health.

Conclusion: Findings highlight ACB individuals' willingness to participate in health research, while identifying participation barriers and facilitators. Researchers must build trust through anti-racist community engagement efforts.

了解不列颠哥伦比亚省非洲人、加勒比人和黑人的研究参与经验。

背景：加拿大的卫生研究没有充分吸引非洲、加勒比和黑人（ACB）人，导致他们的优先事项代表性不足，卫生需求未得到满足。目的：了解不列颠哥伦比亚省ACB人群的研究经验和重点。方法：采用描述性统计方法对在线调查的横断面数据进行汇总。内容分析用于开放式文本回复。与ACB社区合作伙伴一起进行了数据收集和分析。结果：56名被调查者中，年龄在16 ~ 25岁的占50.0%；78.6%为女性。虽然只有42.9%的人有研究经验，但91.1%的人愿意参与。参与障碍包括时间限制（53.1%）和不信任（30.6%）。促进因素包括对ACB个人/社区的感知利益（83.9%）和分享观点的机会（60.7%）。研究重点包括心理健康、药物使用以及性健康和生殖健康。结论：研究结果突出了ACB个体参与健康研究的意愿，同时确定了参与障碍和促进因素。研究人员必须通过反种族主义的社区参与努力建立信任。
