The document discusses health equity and the factors that affect achieving it. Health equity means ensuring all people can lead healthy lives through equal access to opportunities. It can be achieved by treating everyone equally and eliminating avoidable health inequities and disparities. Social, economic, and environmental conditions impact health in several ways, such as through social inequities, institutional practices, neighborhood conditions, health behaviors, chronic diseases/injuries, and genetics. Access to quality healthcare is important but not sufficient on its own, as health is influenced by many social determinants.

Presentation by Camara Jones, MD, MPH, PhD at the 2009 Virginia Health Equity Conference.
Dr. Jones presents the “Cliff Analogy” for understanding four levels of health intervention: medical care, secondary prevention, primary prevention, and addressing the social determinants of health. She described how health disparities arise on three levels (differences in quality of care, differences in access to care, and differences in underlying exposures and opportunities) and expand the “Cliff Analogy” to illustrate the relationship between addressing the social determinants of health and addressing the social determinants of equity, which is a fifth level of health intervention.
She identifies racism as one of the social determinants of equity and a fundamental cause of “racial”/ethnic health disparities in the United States, with racism defined as a system of structuring opportunity and assigning value based on the social interpretation of how one looks, which is what we call “race.” She described how racism impacts health on three levels (institutionalized, personally-mediated, and internalized) and animate understanding of these levels of racism with her “Gardener’s Tale” allegory.
Finally, using data from the “Reactions to Race” module on the 2004 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, she examined the relationship between responses to “How do other people usually classify you in this country?” and self-rated general health status to provide evidence of the impacts of racism on health. Dr. Jones challenges us to broaden the scope of our public health interventions by asking the question “How is racism operating here?” and then working to create a system in which ALL people are highly valued and ALL people are able to develop to their full potential.
Presentation by Steven H. Woolf, MD, MPH at the 2009 Virginia Health Equity Conference.
Dr. Woolf shared research on the dramatic influences of social conditions on health inequities nationally and in the Commonwealth of Virginia. He also discussed the importance of packaging the evidence in compelling formats for policymakers and the public.

(HEPE) Introduction To Health Disparities 1antz505
Many youth leaders are compelled to do work with community based non-profit and local public health agencies as both a service learning and philanthropic component in their development as young professionals. However, despite invaluable experiential learning, students often don\'t comprehend key overarching issues such as health disparities, social determinants of health, health policy and community organizing. To address this gap and optimize their community based work, the Health Disparities Student Collaborative (HDSC), a Boston-based student group under Critical MASS for eliminating health disparities and the Center for Community Health Education Research and Service Inc. (CCHERS), developed a curriculum for students designed to broaden their perspectives while working with local public health, non-profit/community organizations and to develop their interest and ability to visualize the power of their collective voice as students and contributors to social justice work. The curriculum utilizes peer education and webinar software and covers three main topics: Current State of Health Disparities, Social Determinants of Health, and Youth Activism on Health Disparities/Social Determinants of Health. HDSC has collaborated with local partners CCHERS/Critical MASS and the Community Based Public Health Caucus (CBPHC) Youth Council to develop this comprehensive “Health Equality Peer Education” training.

Equal Access Equal Outcomes The Importance of Health Equity.pdfSayed Quraishi
Equal Access, Equal Outcomes: The Importance of Health Equity is a phrase that refers to the idea that all individuals should have an equal opportunity to achieve good health and receive high-quality healthcare, regardless of their background.

WHAT AFFECTS ACHIEVING HEALTH EQUITYHEALTH EQUITY FRAMEWORK
Health Equity means efforts to ensure that all people have full and equal access to opportunites that enable them to lead healthy
lives. To achieve health equity, we must treat everyone equally and eliminate avoidable health inequities and health disparities.
Social, economic, and environmental conditions affect health in a
number of ways. Learn more from the framework below:
Health inequities are differences in health that are avoidable, unfair, and unjust.
Health disparities are differences in health among groups of people.
BROUGHT TO YOU BY:
Social inequities
occur when a
person or group is
treated unfairly
because of race,
gender, class,
sexual orientation,
or immigration
status.
Institutions such as
governments,
churches,
corporations, or
schools use their
authority to create
unequal
opportunities
among groups of
people.
Where you live
affects your health.
Lower income
neighborhoods tend
to be in poor social,
economic, and
physical conditions.
Smoking, poor
nutrition, and lack of
exercise are all
behaviors that may
lead to poor health.
Social, economic, and
environmental
conditions affect
health knowledge and
health behaviors.
Chronic disease or
injury can result
from inequities and
health behaviors.
Genetics also affect
health differences.
Your social status,
economic
opportunities, where
you live, and health
behaviors all affect
life expectancy.
Note: Framework adapted by HEI from the Bay Area Regional Health Inequities (BARHII) Framework
Access to quality healthcare is one key in reducing inequities and disparities, but health is more than just disease or illness.
Health Equity will be achieved when everyone is given the opportunity to reach their full health potential.
