Scholars and researchers in social and health sciences have been studying and documenting the effects of anti-Black racism and its impact on health inequities in Canada for decades, yet\u00a0systemic racism has undermined the publication of this work. In 2020,\u00a0<em>CMAJ<\/em>\u00a0entered into conversation with Dr. Onye Nnorom and Dr. OmiSoore Dryden, the co-leads of the Black Health Education Collaborative, regarding ways to increase publications\u00a0focusing on Black health and anti-Black racism in health care, resulting in this call for papers on a special issue.<\/p>\n<p><em>CMAJ\u00a0<\/em>has been part of the system that has marginalized work related to the outcome of anti-Black racism on health. It\u2019s time for Canada\u2019s national medical journal to right this wrong.<\/p>\n<p><em>CMAJ<\/em>\u00a0recognizes the need to increase spaces that welcome research and best practice debate led by Black scholars for the wellbeing of Black communities. As such\u00a0<em>CMAJ\u00a0<\/em>will be devoting a special issue to the theme of Black health and anti-Black racism in health in Canada in the second quarter of 2022. Our intent is to centre the scholarship of Black authors, including Black learners.<\/p>\n<p>We invite submissions of high quality, scholarly articles on topics related to the theme, including but not limited to<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The role colonial medicine has played in reproducing anti-Black racism in North America<\/li>\n<li>How to address Black people\u2019s differential access to a broad range of health care services in Canada (including, but not limited to, the areas of obstetric care, pain management, preventive health care and mental health services)<\/li>\n<li>Health inequities: Black health disparities and how systemic anti-Black racism has resulted in differential\/inequitable health outcomes for Black Canadians<\/li>\n<li>#BlackInMedicine, describing the lived experiences of Black learners and practitioners in the field of medicine in Canada<\/li>\n<li>How to address differential access to medical education for Black people in Canada, and ways to combat racism in medical education<\/li>\n<li>Addressing racial profiling and racist treatment of Black patients and Black health care workers in the health care system<\/li>\n<li>Addressing anti-Black racism in public health responses<\/li>\n<li>Anti-Black racism in carceral systems and its relationship with health including mental health<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To plan and shape the issue,\u00a0<em>CMAJ<\/em>\u00a0has formed a working group comprised of external experts and editors.
