Grant: Health System Impact Fellowships - Doctoral Western Canada 1-year
University of Victoria (British Columbia)
$17,500.00
Advancing Equitable Cancer Care for Incarcerated Populations
FY 2022-23
Summary
Complex socio-political causes continue to increase the carceral population locally and globally, with more individuals aging and dying in prisons. Despite international recognition of the importance of palliative and cancer care as a shared universal right, a health equity gap exists between the general and carceral populations in Canada. Incarcerated people face unparalleled health disparities before, during and post-incarceration. My motivation for applying to this fellowship is to conduct applied health research to reduce the barriers to cancer care for incarcerated individuals.

Abstract
Complex socio-political causes continue to increase the carceral population locally and globally, with more individuals aging and dying in prisons. Despite international recognition of the importance of palliative and cancer care as a shared universal right, a health equity gap exists between the general and carceral populations in Canada. Incarcerated people face unparalleled health disparities before, during and post-incarceration. My motivation for applying to this fellowship is to conduct applied health research to reduce the barriers to cancer care for incarcerated individuals.
