Basics of Health Equity (Student Edition)

Understanding that we all come to equity and justice with potentially different life experiences and levels of understanding of the existing historical context, evidence, theory and practice, this section grounds our members and readers in common definitions, concepts and frameworks. This primer is not exhaustive but, rather, more of an introduction. We recognize that there are other useful and valid ways to explain the concepts that follow, and that language evolves over time. We encourage further investigation, engagement and reflection to expand one’s knowledge.
