The first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic has led to excess mortality across the globe, and Canada has been no exception. Nonetheless, the pandemic experience has been very different across provinces, and the objective of this paper is to investigate these differences focusing on two extreme cases. We contrast the mortality experience of British Columbia with that of Québec to understand how large differences in mortality during the first wave of the pandemic emerged across these two provinces. We find that most of the differences can be found in excess mortality in institutions (nursing homes) and that travel restrictions, differences in how deaths are recorded, differences in the seasonality of the flu, or differences in how the pandemic spread across different economic segments of the population are unlikely explain these large differences. We document that the reported death toll from COVID-19 is about 30% larger than excess mortality in Quebec due to lower mortality from other causes of death, in particular malignant tumors, heart disease, and respiratory problems. We do not find evidence of an income gradient (measured by postal code level income) in relative excess death for the first wave.

<p><p>There is growing evidence that the risk and burden of COVID-19 infections are not equally distributed across population subgroups and that racialized communities are experiencing disproportionately higher morbidity and mortality rates. However, due to the absence of large-scale race-based data, it is impossible to measure the extent to which immigrant and racialized communities are experiencing the pandemic and the impact of measures taken (or not) to mitigate these impacts, especially at a local level. To address this issue, the Ottawa Local Immigration Partnership partnered with the Collaborative Critical Research for Equity and Transformation in Health lab at the University of Ottawa and the Canadians of African Descent Health Organization to implement a project to build local organizational capacities to understand, monitor, and mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on immigrant and racialized populations. This research note describes the working framework used for this project, proposed indicators for measuring the determinants of health among immigrant and racialized populations, and the data gaps we encountered. Recommendations are made to policymakers, and community and health stakeholders at all levels on how to collect and use data to address COVID-19 health inequities, including data collection strategies aimed at community engagement in the collection of disaggregated data, improving methods for collecting and analyzing data on immigrants and racialized groups and policies to enable and enhance data disaggregation.

越来越多的证据表明,COVID-19 感染的风险和负担在人口亚群中的分布并不均衡,种族化社区的发病率和死亡率高得不成比例。然而,由于缺乏基于种族的大规模数据,因此无法衡量移民和种族化社区在多大程度上受到了这一流行病的影响,也无法衡量为减轻这些影响而采取的措施(或未采取的措施)所产生的影响,尤其是在地方一级。为解决这一问题,渥太华地方移民合作组织与渥太华大学健康平等与转型关键合作研究实验室(Collaborative Critical Research for Equity and Transformation in Health lab at the University of Ottawa)和加拿大非洲裔健康组织(Canadians of African Descent Health Organization)合作实施了一个项目,以建设地方组织的能力,从而了解、监测和减轻 COVID-19 大流行病对移民和种族化人群的影响。本研究报告介绍了该项目采用的工作框架、衡量移民和种族人口健康决定因素的拟议指标,以及我们遇到的数据缺口。就如何收集和使用数据来解决 COVID-19 健康不平等问题,向各级决策者、社区和健康利益相关者提出了建议,包括旨在让社区参与收集分类数据的数据收集策略、改进收集和分析移民和种族化群体数据的方法,以及促进和加强数据分类的政策。摘要 越来越多的研究表明,COVID-19 感染的风险和负担在人口中的分布并不均匀,种族化社区的发病率和死亡率高得不成比例。然而,由于缺乏按种族地位分列的数据,因此无法衡量移民和种族化社区是如何经历这一流行病的,也无法衡量为减轻这些影响而采取(或未采取)的措施所产生的影响,尤其是在地方一级。为解决这一问题,渥太华地方移民合作组织(OLIP)与渥太华大学健康公平与转型关键合作研究实验室(CO-CREATH)和加拿大非洲卫生组织(CADHO)合作实施了一个项目,以建设地方组织能力,从而了解、监测和减轻 COVID-19 大流行病对移民和种族化人群的影响。本研究报告介绍了该项目所采用的框架、为衡量移民和种族化人群健康决定因素而提出的指标,以及我们在现有数据中发现的差距。我们就如何收集和使用数据来解决与 COVID-19 相关的健康不平等问题,向各级政策制定者、社区和健康参与者提出了建议。这些建议涉及旨在让社区参与进来的数据收集策略、改进收集和分析移民和种族化群体数据的方法,以及实现和改进按种族地位分列数据所需的政策。

The new coronavirus (COVID-19) is having a major impact on mortality and survival in most countries of the world, with Mexico being one of the countries most heavily impacted by the pandemic. In this paper, we study the impact of COVID-19 deaths on period life expectancy at birth in Mexico by sex and state. We focus on the loss of life expectancy at different ages as a geographically comparable measure of the pandemic's impact on the population in 2020. Results show that males have been affected more than women since they have lost more years of life expectancy at birth due to COVID-19, and they have also experienced a high variation of life expectancy loss across states. The biggest life expectancy loss concentrates in the Northeastern, Central, and Southeastern (Yucatan peninsula) states. Considering the likely undercount associated with COVID-19 deaths, sensitivity analysis suggests that the new coronavirus is having a much larger impact on life expectancy in Mexico than the official government data appears to indicate. Continuos assessment of the pandemic will help state governments quantify the effect of current and new public health measures.
