Perspectives of structurally marginalised patients attending contextually tailored and integrated care practices in Canada: a focused ethnography study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To better understand the experience of patients attending community-based primary healthcare practices (CBPHCPs) aimed at improving equity and access to primary care for underserved patients, which have been implemented locally in several countries, including Canada. There are currently little data on how, or to what extent, they mitigate patients' experience of social inequalities in care and improve their access to health. This study explored the impacts of the sociospatial characteristics of these practices on patients' care experience.

Design and methods

Qualitative, multisite, focused ethnographic study based on in-situ observations and interviews, incorporating inductive and deductive analysis, and using the concept of sense of place.
