Advancing health system transformation of perinatal substance use services in British Columbia: A patient journey mapping study
EF 2025-26
Résumé
The aim of this fellowship is to improve perinatal substance use (PSU) care in hospitals across British Columbia (BC). In BC, rates of PSU doubled from 2001 to 2020. First Nations Lifegivers (i.e., pregnant and early parenting people) have voiced concerns about service access, quality, and cultural safety, including diminished local care options and experiences of systemic racism. In 2024, First Nations communities in BC released calls to action to improve the birthing journey for Lifegivers, including those who use substances. In partnership with the First Nations Health Authority (FNHA), this fellowship responds to the calls to action, conducting a patient journey mapping study to identify a model of hospital-based PSU care for adaptation and implementation in under-resourced community hospitals where the need for PSU care is high. By developing an embedded qualitative research program at FNHA, this fellowship will enhance FNHA's research capacity to support the transformation of health services for First Nations people in BC.
