EUROTHINE - Tackling Health Inequalities In Europe: an integrated approach
Prosjektdeltaker: Espen Dahl
Finansiering: DG Health, Europakommisjonen
Beskrivelse:
The Eurothine project collects and analyses information on socioeconomic inequalities in health from a wide range of European countries, in order to facilitate mutual learning and to help policy-makers develop rational strategies for tackling health inequalities. The project is funded by EU.
The project will have 3 main strands, corresponding to each of its objectives: (a) collection and analysis of data on health inequalities indicators; (b) collection and analysis of evidence on effectiveness of policies and interventions; (c) dissemination and clearing house development. Each of these strands will consist of a number of work-packages to be carried out by either the co-ordinating center or one of the 8 collaborating centers, with inputs from leading experts in the field based in 25 European countries. Essentially, the quantitative analyses in the first strand will show what the main priorities and entry-points for tackling health inequalities in the participating countries are, while the evidence to be assessed in the second strand will provide guidance as to the policies and interventions that can help to address these priorities and entry-points
