Glossary
Health Disparities
A health difference that is closely linked with social, economic, or environmental disadvantage (healthypeople.gov)
Health Equity
Is achieved when every person has the opportunity to “attain his or her full health potential” and no one is disadvantaged from achieving this potential because of some socially determined circumstance. Health inequities are reflected in different lengths of life; quality of life; rates of disease, disability, and death; severity of disease; and access to treatment (CDC)
Racial Equity
A framework to analyze how race and ethnicity shape our experiences with power, access to opportunity, treatment, and outcomes (Grant Craft/PRE)
Social determinants of health
The definition should read: “The conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age that impact health outcomes. These circumstances are shaped by the distribution of money, power, and resources at global, national, and local levels (WHO).
Systems change
Addressing the systemic barriers that create inequities (Power Moves)
