Dianne Patychuk and Daniela Seskar-Hencic have released a report entitled "First Steps to Equity: Ideas and Strategies for Health Equity in Ontario, 2008-2010" to mark the Nov 12-14 launch of the new Ontario Public Health Standards.
The authors write:
With this document, we celebrate the launch of new Ontario Public Health
Standards that include identifying, reporting and using information about
health inequities and tailoring strategies to inform actions that meet the
needs of priority populations. This document provides some ideas, steps,
examples and resources to support people and organizations working for equity
in health in Ontario. Equity in Health is about eliminating unnecessary/avoidable, and unfair/unjust differences in health among population groups and communities.
The document is available in .pdf format at:
