We challenge the common understanding of poverty as the consequence of individual actions, inaction, or irresponsibility. Instead, we conceptualise experiences of poverty as inextricably influenced by structural processes, including public policies that legitimise the increasingly meagre allocation of social and economic resources in society. In research pertaining to indigenous peoples in urban areas, it is particularly important to view patterns of urbanisation in a socio-historical context. There has been a dramatic increase in the proportion of indigenous peoples living in canadian urban centres. Methods: overview of context and design: although eds are not typically designed as primary care access sites, an increasing number of people in canada and other nations are using eds for health issues triaged as stable and non-urgent.
