The specific objectives:

1. To develop 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.

The integrated approach adopted represents a significant step forwards as compared to previous projects in this field: the quantitative analyses of health indicators (objective 1) will show what the main entry-points for tackling health inequalities in the participating countries are, while a wide range of evidence on effectiveness (objective 2) will provide guidance as to the policies and interventions that can help to address these entry-points….”
