Description: This course is intended for PhD students and other researchers interested in the quantitative analysis of inequality and inequity in health and health care. The course consists of five days of lectures and tutorials on a number of topics related to the measurement and explanation of inequities/inequalities in health. Apart from providing a general introduction into the range of approaches available to researchers, it will also provide practical experience of computation using Stata. Illustrations will be based on real-world examples drawn from evidence in European and other OECD countries, as well as developing countries.
Objectives:
· To review health economics approaches to the measurement of inequality and inequity (most of which were developed in the context of the European ECuity Project)
· To provide detailed guidance on computational procedures using Stata
· To provide hands-on experience with computation-based exercises

Analyzing Health Equity Using Household Survey Data |
| Health equity has become an increasingly popular research topic during the course of the past 25 years. Many factors explain this trend, including a growing demand from policymakers, better and more plentiful household data, and increased computer power. But progress in quantifying and understanding health equities would not have been possible without appropriate analytic techniques. These techniques are the subject of this book. The book includes chapters dealing with data issues and the measurement of the key variables in health equity analysis (Part i), quantitative techniques for interpreting and presenting health equity data The book can be ordered online, and electronic versions of the chapters can be downloaded using the links below. Also available are Powerpoint lectures of chapters, customizable "do" files for use in Stata, a Stata "ado" file for dominance checking, and an Excel file for computing standard errors of the concentraiton index with grouped data.
