Equity oriented Tool Kit

Equity Oriented Tool Kit


Welcome to the Equity-Oriented Tool Kit for Health Technology Assessment!
A needs-based health technology assessment model is used to provide methods to match the identified health needs of a population, to the most appropriate interventions. The existing tool kit focused on averages, but this ignored distributional issues and equity gradients.

We are now expanding this toolkit. It is based on clinical and population health status and takes into account issues of gender equity, social justice and community participation.
