Aims and scope
International Journal for Equity in Health presents evidence relevant to the search for, and
attainment of, equity in health across and within countries. International Journal for Equity in
Health publishes research which improves the understanding of issues that influence the health
of populations. This includes the discussion of political, policy-related, economic, social and
health services-related influences, particularly with regard to systematic differences in
distributions of one or more aspects of health in population groups defined demographically,
geographically, or socially.
