Avoidable hospitalizations among racialized groups in Canada: Results from the 2016 Canadian Census Health and Environment Cohort

Articles and reports: 82-003-X202500300002
Description: Ambulatory care sensitive conditions (ACSCs) are illnesses that can be effectively treated and managed in primary care settings. Hospitalizations for ACSCs are therefore considered avoidable and may indicate poor access to quality primary care. This study examined trends in avoidable hospitalizations in Canada among racialized groups.

  • Correction: August 25, 2025

    Corrections were required to the estimates in the text, tables and charts due to a small number of unintentionally excluded individuals who died during the reference years of interest. The correction to the cohort did not change the overall findings. The following corrections were made: Tables 1 to 3 and Charts 1 to 4 were replaced. In-text estimates were replaced in the abstract and results section. These changes did not impact the pattern of significant results, nor the overall findings but the estimates were marginally higher.
