Background Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) predispose a woman to maternity-related cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. However, there is limited literature on HDP among women of African descent in Canada. Methods and design A convergent mixed-method study will be used to investigate the intersection of self-reported HDP risks in women of African descent in Canada with a history of a HDP (quantitative, cross-sectional survey) and explore the perception and experiences of women of African descent living in Canada with a history of a HDP in relation to the intersection of risk factors (critical qualitative inquiry, interviews). Quantitative analysis will use SPSS V. 27.0 and thematic analysis will be conducted using NVivo V. 12. A joint display will be used to combine the quantitative and qualitative results. Discussion Through the lens of intersectionality, the proposed study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the intersection of risks for HDP among women of African descent in Canada with a history of HDP. Furthermore, results could inform future strategies to reduce cardiovascular disease risks. Trial Registration Number This is registered in the Open Sciences Framework as follows: doi.org .
