Advancing health equity to improve health: the time is now.

Abstract:

:Health inequities, or avoidable inequalities in health between groups of people, are increasingly recognized and tackled to improve public health. Canada's interest in health inequities goes back over 40 years, with the landmark 1974 Lalonde report, and continues with the 2011 Rio Political Declaration on Social Determinants of Health, which affirmed a global political commitment to implementing a social determinants of health approach to reducing health inequities. Research in this area includes documenting and tracking health inequalities, exploring their multidimensional causes, and developing and evaluating ways to address them. Inequalities can be observed in who is vulnerable to infectious and chronic diseases, the impact of health promotion and disease prevention efforts, how disease progresses, and the outcomes of treatment. Many programs, policies and projects with potential impacts on health equity and determinants of health have been implemented across Canada. Recent theoretical and methodological advances in the areas of implementation science and population health intervention research have strengthened our capacity to develop effective interventions. With the launch of a new health equity series this month, the journals Canada Communicable Disease Report and Health Promotion and Chronic Disease Prevention in Canada will continue to reflect and foster analysis of social determinants of health and focus on intervention studies that advance health equity. TITRE:Promouvoir léquité en santé en vue d’améliorer la santé : le moment d’agir est venu. INTRODUCTION:De plus en plus, les inégalités en santé, soit les disparités évitables en matière de santé entre des groupes de personnes, sont reconnues et prises en compte dans l’objectif d’améliorer la santé publique. L’intérêt du Canada à l’égard des inégalités en santé remonte à plus de 40 ans, lors de la publication historique du rapport Lalonde en 1974. Cet intérêt a été réaffirmé en 2011 par la Déclaration politique de Rio sur les déterminants sociaux de la santé, qui énonce un engagement politique mondial à réduire les inégalités en santé par la mise en œuvre d’une approche axée sur les déterminants sociaux de la santé. Les recherches menées dans ce domaine visent notamment à décrire les inégalités en santé, à suivre leur évolution et à étudier leurs causes multidimensionnelles, de même qu’à élaborer et à évaluer des stratégies permettant de les atténuer. Des inégalités peuvent être observées en ce qui concerne les populations vulnérables aux maladies infectieuses et chroniques, l’incidence des mesures de promotion de la santé et de prévention des maladies, l’évolution des maladies et les résultats des traitements. Un grand nombre de programmes, de politiques et de projets qui pourraient avoir une incidence sur l’équité en santé et les déterminants de la santé ont été mis en œuvre à l’échelle du Canada. Les percées théoriques et méthodologiques récentes dans les domaines de la science de la mise en œuvre et de la recherche interventionnelle en santé des populations ont renforcé notre capacité d’élaborer des interventions efficaces. En lançant ce mois-ci une nouvelle série d’articles sur l’équité en santé, les revues Relevé des maladies transmissibles au Canada et Promotion de la santé et prévention des maladies chroniques au Canada vont continuer à rendre compte des analyses sur les déterminants sociaux de la santé et à les encourager ainsi qu’à insister sur les études d’interventions qui promeuvent l’équité en santé.
