REAL: Health Equity Questionnaire
About this survey
WHAT DOES HEALTH EQUITY LOOK LIKE? Health equity is when all members of society enjoy a fair and just opportunity to be as healthy as possible. When public health policies and programs center all people and address their needs equally.
WHAT DO WE MEAN BY HEALTH INEQUITIES? The World Health Organiziation (WHO) says, "Health inequities are systematic differences in the health status of different population groups. These inequities have significant social and economic costs both to individuals and societies."
Health inequities are systematic differences in health outcomes! Full stop!
Health inequities are differences in health status or in the distribution of health resources between different population groups, arising from the social conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age. Health inequities are unfair and could be reduced by the right mix of government policies.
