Funded Activity Summary

An estimated 5,000 lives are lost each year in NSW through early deaths due to differences in socioeconomic status. While many of the causes are related to social, environmental and economic factors the health system has an important direct role through advocacy, improving access to services and reducing risks for illness. This study looks at the effectiveness of using equity focused health impact assessment to ensure health policies maximise the distribution of benefits to all groups.
