Our analysis focused on the quantity and distribution of protests within Canada, policy demands expressed by organizers and the temporal sequence of protest events.Methods: Our data came from the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data (ACLED) project, which includes a dataset with all health worker-involved protest events in specific jurisdictions, including Canada. Using an existing taxonomy of policy demands for protest events, we analyzed specific types of protests, protest demands and temporal trends.Results: Over our study period, ACLED identified 157 health worker protests. Events took place in all provinces, with Ontario recording the highest proportion (~40%). The majority of protests focused on working conditions and remuneration (57%), followed by public policy (26%) and health services delivery (21%). The most frequent subcategories were compensation (n = 48), anti-vaccination mandates (n = 38) and understaffing/patient overload (n = 19).Conclusion: Canadian health workers expressed concerns on policy issues ranging from opposition to COVID-19 mitigation to underinvestment in health systems. Identifying and recognizing these drivers and developing targeted policy to address them through inclusive and sustained engagement with health workers will contribute to long-term solutions.","PeriodicalId":39389,"journal":{"name":"Healthcare Policy","volume":"20 2","pages":"66-82"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12042087/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144050384","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This charitable organization focuses on ameliorating the lives of those living with sickle cell disease by providing evidence-based support to patients and supporting clinical and psychosocial research, health promotion and the development of best practice guidelines. Lanre's passion for this work is personal. Following the death of her brother Sunday Afolabi from preventable and treatable complications of sickle cell disease, Lanre immersed herself in advocacy for community health and quality patient care. In this oral history narrative, Lanre reflects on her decades-long journey advocating for those living with sickle cell disease - a disease which disproportionately affects Black people. Her reflections focus acutely on the challenges she has faced in raising awareness and visibility, including through formal public engagement policy processes. Lanre also speaks to the personal costs she has encountered engaging in this advocacy work and the subtle and institutionalized forms of anti-Black racism that have punctuated this already difficult effort to bring about change.","PeriodicalId":39389,"journal":{"name":"Healthcare Policy","volume":"20 SP","pages":"79-82"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11523118/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142477004","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The strategies employed to recruit participants shape the outcomes and legitimacy of engagement processes. We explore these issues through a case study of workshop recruitment.Methods: We conducted a mixed-methods study drawing on literature about existing theories of engagement, and integrated findings from the research team's own public engagement workshop in September 2022. We sought to align theoretical frameworks with practical approaches to recruiting for engagement.Results: There are inherent trade-offs in recruitment methods. While the theory of recruitment is valuable, practical implementation is complex and highly context-dependent. Engaging existing partners and fostering relationships beyond specific events is crucial. Hybrid workshops and low-barrier honoraria promote participation; however, decisions about location and time create barriers. Finally, balancing trusting relationships with critical perspectives can create tension.Discussion: Recruitment is foundational for the engagement process, and requires flexibility, responsiveness and a realistic understanding of barriers. Our study suggests that there is no universal formula for ideal participant makeup or event format. Meaningful engagement requires ongoing dialogue and constant adjustment based on practice. Policy makers can use these insights to align recruitment and engagement strategies with their goals in order to move beyond quick, technocratic fixes.","PeriodicalId":39389,"journal":{"name":"Healthcare Policy","volume":"20 SP","pages":"36-47"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11523121/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142477010","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, current political, economic and social challenges call for critical reflection on this history, to assess whether current approaches to engaging Canadian publics are up to the task, and what adaptations or new approaches might be needed. If the persisting inequities in health systems across Canada are going to be addressed, it is imperative that those designing, developing and implementing policies find ways to reflect the needs and preferences of the communities and populations most adversely affected by these inequities in their decisions. The purpose of this special issue is to address this important topic through a series of research papers and commentaries. Our work is targeted to health policy makers across Canada who are seeking to engage with various publics on a wide array of health policy issues. We offer key insights into what more purposeful and equitable public engagement might look like, as well as common pitfalls in public engagement practices and how they can be avoided.","PeriodicalId":39389,"journal":{"name":"Healthcare Policy","volume":"20 SP","pages":"10-16"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11523113/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142477009","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We examine this to understand how formal public engagement processes might be more inclusive of Black peoples to inform more responsive policies.Methodology: The study employed an asset-based lens to examine how Black communities have engaged in health policy and advocacy in Ontario. In-depth interviews were conducted with eight participants who self-identify as Black, recruited using purposive and intensity sampling to (1) identify information-rich cases, including people who have been at the forefront of high-impact work in this space and (2) participants whose mission and mandates represented diverse approaches and sub-populations.Results: Our findings suggest that while Black community advocates face systemic and contextual barriers, they also embody deep and multifaceted knowledge, training and experience, which inform the rich ways that they approach advocacy.Discussion: Despite its Ontario focus, this study adds breadth and depth to the existing literature on health policy and historically marginalized populations, offering broader lessons for policy makers across jurisdictions. Our findings encourage policy makers to better recognize, make space for and cultivate fertile advocacy foundations, cultural knowledge and community-driven systems already present in Black communities.","PeriodicalId":39389,"journal":{"name":"Healthcare Policy","volume":"20 SP","pages":"62-73"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11523116/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142477005","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
