Introduction: Anti-Black racism is deeply entrenched in Canadian institutions and has deleterious impacts on Black populations. Black populations have resided in the Atlantic region since the late 17th century. Despite longstanding histories, Atlantic Black populations face significant inequities, including the highest rates of child poverty among Black children across Canada. Community consultations in Atlantic Canada have highlighted a desire to bring attention to these health inequities. The purpose of this review was to identify existing literature pertaining to Black health research in Atlantic Canada and highlight culturally appropriate practices.

Methods: The search strategy was developed with a librarian and focussed on health research pertaining to Black populations in the Atlantic provinces of Canada, covering eight databases. All articles were imported into Covidence for screening, with independent reviewers assessing titles, abstracts and full texts.

Results: Forty-seven studies met the inclusion criteria. Findings demonstrated the pervasiveness and impact of racism, the importance of community engagement as a key cultural consideration and the adoption of participatory action research frameworks as culturally appropriate.

Conclusion: This review revealed opportunities for improving Black health research in Canada's Atlantic provinces. Future research warrants attention to this region and the use of culturally and structurally appropriate research approaches and methods. Recommendations include improved education on Black history and a training module within existing ethical guidelines for culturally and structurally competent research with Black communities.

简介：反黑人种族主义在加拿大机构中根深蒂固，对黑人群体产生了不利影响。自17世纪末以来，加拿大大西洋地区就有黑人居住。尽管历史悠久，但大西洋地区的黑人群体仍然面临着严重的不平等现象，包括全国范围内儿童贫困率最高。社区咨询显示希望关注这些健康不平等问题。本次回顾的目的是确定有关加拿大大西洋地区黑人健康的现有文献，并强调文化上适当的做法。

方法：搜索策略由图书馆员制定，专注于加拿大大西洋省份中黑人群体的卫生研究，涵盖了八个数据库。所有文章都导入Covidence进行筛选，独立评审员对标题、摘要和全文进行了评估。

结果：有47项研究符合纳入标准。结果表明了种族主义的存在及其影响的重要性，社区参与作为主要文化考虑因素的必要性以及采用参与式行动研究框架的文化适宜性。

结论：本次回顾揭示了在加拿大大西洋省份改善黑人健康研究的机会。未来的研究应关注该地区，并使用文化上和结构上适当的研究方法。建议包括改进对黑人历史的教育，以及在现有的伦理指南中增加一个培训模块，以支持与黑人群体合作的文化和结构能力。

简易摘要

加拿大大西洋地区的黑人群体面临着显著的健康不平等问题，需要识别并开发适当的文化做法来解决这些问题。快速回顾确定了47项关于大西洋地区黑人健康的文献。结果强调在文化上和结构上有能力的黑人健康研究方面存在重大缺口。以文化和结构上的能力为基础的研究始于所有研究人员至少完成一项针对黑人群体的伦理研究模块。
