Facilitators and barriers of sociodemographic data collection in Canadian health care settings: a multisite case study evaluation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Despite growing awareness of the importance of social determinants of health, research remains limited about the implementation of sociodemographic data collection in Canadian health care settings. Little is known about the salient contextual factors that enable or hinder collection and use of social information to improve quality of care in clinical settings. This study examines the perceptions and experiences of managers and care providers to better understand how to support organizational efforts to collect and use sociodemographic data to provide equity-oriented care.

Methods

Case studies of three diverse urban health care settings employed semi-structured individual and group interviews with managers and care providers respectively to explore their experience
