Black people experience a disproportionate number of health disparities, in large part due to the direct and indirect racism that persists in our society. As a research centre whose goal is to advance health research and its application to health care accessibility across Canada, we stand in alliance with Black students, colleagues, and community members to bring about the fundamental changes needed for a just and equitable society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"w-screen px-6 cu-section cu-section--white ml-offset-center md:px-8 lg:px-14\">\n    <div class=\"space-y-6 cu-max-w-child-5xl  md:space-y-10 cu-prose-first-last\">\n\n        \n    <div class=\"grid gap-6 mx-auto my-6 cu-column md:gap-10 md:grid-cols-2 md:my-10 first:mt-0\">\n        \n<div class=\"cu-column-content\">\n    \n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The CHAIM Centre has produced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=5deVJ_EuLnk&amp;list=PLIu2JnVo51lAOd2S661uxI5PyHsYXMYsO\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a series of educational videos<\/a> exploring questions of why race matters, what it represents, and how ethnoracial analysis can be ethically incorporated into research.
