PROGRAM UPDATES + RESOURCES
Welcome to our news page for the Health Equity Public Policy area. Achieving heath equity requires close attention to policies. Traditionally, people think of policy as something imposed by government, and largely via legislation. Yet, institutional practices and policies within the private sector can also impact health.
The research is clear: the conditions in which people live, learn, work, play, and worship have significant impacts on health. Addressing inequities in access to resources and health-promoting environments is critical to achieving health equity. In the same way that both institutional policies and public policies impact health care delivery, policies affecting sectors outside health care have major impacts on population health and health equity.
On this page, you’ll find helpful information such as the latest progress updates and journal publications about what we’ve learned so far in this area. For a comprehensive background about our approach to policy influence, please our Public Policy Program page here.
