A Practitioner’s Guide for Advancing Health Equity

A Practitioner’s Guide for Advancing Health Equity is designed to help public health practitioners advance health equity through community prevention strategies. While health disparities can be addressed at multiple levels, this guide focuses on policy, systems, and environmental improvements designed to improve the places where people live, learn, work, and play. It is designed for those who are new to the concept of health equity, as well as those who are already working to create equitable environments. The guide is designed to help health practitioners develop, enhance, and apply the critical skills necessary for advancing health equity in their community. It provides tips and concrete strategies to ensure that initiatives decrease disparate health outcomes, as well as increase community buy-in to achieve good health for all. The guide focuses on four key areas to increase equitable health outcomes: strategies to incorporate equity into foundational principles of public health practice, tobacco-free living strategies, healthy food and beverage strategies, and active living strategies.
