In Focus
Read the speech given by Michael Sparks, IUHPE President, on 14 June 2013, at the occasion of WHO 8th Global Conference on Health Promotion (10-14 June 2013 in Helsinki, Finland)
Read the IUHPE report of a qualitative analysis of A twinning learning exchange between the US Racial and Ethnic Community Health (US REACH) and the Communities for Health (C4H) initiative in England to promote equity and address the social determinants of health
In 2008, the IUHPE, in collaboration with the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Department of Health of England, Health Action Partnership International (HAPI), and more recently Learning for Public Health West Midlands (LPH WM), agreed to embark on a learning exchange between Communities for Health (C4H) in England and the Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health across the US (REACH US) communities that are tackling health inequalities. Such programmes have the potential to offer other countries new insights and perspectives that will in turn contribute to the global and national SDH and health disparities agendas and provide concrete strategies and actions that effectively reduce inequities and promote the health of our societies. The key learnings of this initiative are presented in this report which will contribute to the global community and growing documentation on evidence of effective efforts in the reduction of health inequities.
