dc.description.abstractObjectives: To highlight the ongoing health inequities experienced by the BIPOC community in Canada through the data collected from the COVID-19 pandemic. To demonstrate the disproportionate effect of COVID-19 on the BIPOC community, through the negative outcomes such as infection rates, hospitalization, ICU admission, and death. To correlate which non-medical factors contributed to the outcomes seen and what needs to be accomplished to mitigate future health crises. Methods: Literature review using the platform PubMed. Key terms used included “COVID-19 pandemic outcomes, COVID-19 and the BIPOC community, disproportionate outcomes of BIPOC community COVID-19, social determinants of health and COVID-19, healthy inequity and COVID-19.” Subsequently, 11 articles were deemed suitable for use in this review. Studies were focused on North American studies, particularly in Canada, but were not restricted to such. Results: The literature review identified that BIPOC individuals experienced disproportionate outcomes during the COVID-19 pandemic. They held greater infection rates, hospitalizations, and death compared to the white population of Canada. The non-medical factors which contributed to the poor outcomes seen during the pandemic included employment, neighbourhood, SES, and systemic racism in health care practices. Conclusions: The social determinants of health associated with the negative outcomes seen during the COVID-19 pandemic highlight changes that need to be taken to protect vulnerable communities. Negative outcomes can be prevented through collaborative measures to create safer employment strategies, safer neighbourhoods, and safer health care practices with the goal of eliminating systemic racism and creating health equity.en_US
