“….project to facilitate learning by collecting and analysing information from different European countries that will help policy-makers at the European and national level to develop rational strategies for tackling socioeconomic inequalities in health.

 

Objectives:

1. To develop and collect health inequalities indicators, and to provide bench-marking data on inequalities in health and health determinants to participating countries;

2. To assess evidence on the effectiveness of policies and interventions to tackle the determinants of health inequalities, and to make recommendations on strategies for reducing health inequalities in participating countries

3. To disseminate the results, and to develop a proposal for a permanent European clearing house on tackling health inequalities.
