Where Our Work Began
Laying the Groundwork for Change
What was the TIDES study?
The Tackling Inequalities and Discrimination Experiences in health Services (TIDES) study investigated how discrimination experienced by both patients and healthcare practitioners may generate and perpetuate inequalities in health and health service use. The TIDES study was funded by the Wellcome Trust and the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC).
TIDES Phase 1 was a five-year project which utilises mixed methods to identify inequalities in health service use and explore discrimination by both healthcare practitioners and patients. TIDES Phase 1 was funded by the Wellcome Trust.
TIDES Phase 2 was a continuation of previous work to understand how discrimination contributes to inequalities in health and health services, and aims to continue this work by examining the impact of COVID-19 on inequalities by ethnic minority people working in health and social care. TIDES Phase 2 was funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) as part of UK Research and Innovation’s rapid response to COVID-19.
