Primary healthcare access is one of the crucial factors that ensures the health and well-being of a population. Immigrant/racialised communities encounter a myriad of barriers to accessing primary healthcare. As global migration continues to grow, the development and practice of effective strategies for research and policy regarding primary care access are warranted. Many studies have attempted to identify the barriers to primary care access and recommend solutions. However, top-down approaches where the researchers and policy-makers ‘prescribe’ solutions are more common than community-engaged approaches where community members and researchers work hand-in-hand in community-engaged research to identify the problems, codevelop solutions and recommend policy changes. In this article, we reflect on a comprehensive community-engaged research approach that we undertook to identify the barriers to equitable primary care access among a South Asian (Bangladeshi) immigrant community in Canada. This article summarised the experience of our programme of research and describes our understanding of community-engaged research among an immigrant/racialised community that meaningfully interacts with the community. In employing the principles of community-based participatory research, integrated knowledge translation and human centred design, we reflect on the comprehensive community-engaged research approach we undertook. We believe that our reflections can be useful to academics while conducting community-engaged research on relevant issues across other immigrant/racialised communities.

为务实研究及其他领域开展有意义和深入的社区参与工作：与移民/种族化社区就公平获得医疗服务进行接触

获得初级医疗保健是确保人口健康和福祉的关键因素之一。移民/种族化社区在获得初级医疗保健方面遇到了无数障碍。随着全球移民的持续增长，有必要制定和实践有关初级保健服务的有效研究和政策战略。许多研究试图确定获得初级保健的障碍并推荐解决方案。然而，研究人员和政策制定者“规定”解决方案的自上而下的方法比社区参与的方法更常见，社区成员和研究人员在社区参与的研究中携手合作，以确定问题，共同制定解决方案并提出建议。政策变化。在本文中，我们反思了一项全面的社区参与研究方法，该方法旨在确定加拿大南亚（孟加拉国）移民社区公平获得初级保健的障碍。本文总结了我们研究计划的经验，并描述了我们对与社区进行有意义互动的移民/种族化社区中社区参与研究的理解。在采用基于社区的参与式研究、综合知识翻译和以人为本的设计的原则时，我们反思了我们所采取的全面的社区参与研究方法。我们相信，在对其他移民/种族化社区的相关问题进行社区参与的研究时，我们的思考对学术界很有用。在这项工作中没有数据。
