Developing an evidence base to inform retirement home policy development using an equity and diversity lens: a mixed methods study protocol
This project will leverage the existing momentum for long-term care reform where evidence of health inequities is well documented, to engage in research in a neighbouring sector that serves older adults with increasingly similar health profiles and complexities. We will disseminate contextualized policy options to both provincial-level decision-makers and community knowledge user partners to help inform future work on equity in retirement homes at different levels of governance.
