Injury is NOT Equal

No one enjoys being injured, especially when it could be prevented! No, not the bump on the knee or the scratch on the elbow. Preventable traumatic injury impacts communities and individuals differently and is influenced by systemic racism, sexism and the social determinants of health. Join hosts from Sunnybrook's Centre for Injury Prevention, along with community experts, doctors, healthcare professionals, and follow stories from individuals living with injury. Injury is not equal is a podcast that’s digging deep to understand the “why”, highlighting the diverse journey of injury, and identifying ways to prevent it.

Injury is not experienced equally across all communities or individuals. In fact, some groups are impacted by injury more than others. Injury risk and outcome is influenced by the social determinants of health and intersecting marginalization’s.

In this trailer, host Shaelyn Fitzpatrick introduces season 2 of “Injury is NOT Equal.” This season, Shaelyn will be sitting down with experts and individuals with lived experiences to discuss the many factors that disproportionately affect risk and outcome of traumatic brain injury (TBI). TBI is one of the leading causes of disability globally and it accounts for 2% of the population in Canada. Each year, approximately 165,000 individuals in Canada are affected by TBI. By 2031, it is expected that TBI will be among the most common neurological conditions to affect Canadians (Brain Injury Canada, 2022).
