Advancing Health Equity in Public Health Practice: Core Concepts

With the rising awareness that advancing equity is critical to public health, it can be challenging to understand what this looks like in our everyday work. It is common in discussions about health equity to hear references to using a ‘health equity framework’ but being unclear about how to move from concept to practice presents a barrier to advancing equity across our systems.

This workshop introduces participants to health equity core concepts, illuminating how racism, classism, and other types of oppression are root causes of health inequities. Experienced co-facilitators lead these dialogue-based, interactive sessions to explore strategies that advance equity in public health practice.
