Does anyone have data on how many marginalized people are served by and die in hospices? I have heard anecdotally that this is an area of concern in palliative care: how to serve a more diverse population - socioeconomic status being one aspect of that
Sorry for the delay! There's international evidence that lower socioeconomics status people tend to use hospice/palliative care less. Interestingly, this seems to be true even when access is the same: https://rdcu.be/dYKd0

I'm not sure about Canadian-specific data though!
