3rd Conference of the International Society for Equity in Health, 06/04

Call for Abstracts Deadline for Submission: December 1st, 2003

The 3rd International Conference of the International Society for Equity in Health (ISEqH) will be hosted by the Health Systems Trust (HST), a South African-based NGO, the Southern African Regional Network on Equity in Health (EQUINET) and the Global Equity Gauge Alliance (GEGA), an international consortium of initiatives to support health equity. The meeting will bring together, researchers, policymakers, practitioners and others concerned with equity in health to develop an international health agenda for governments, universities and organizations all over the world.

There is a special interest in abstracts that reflect a multidisciplinary conceptualization of health equity; that analyze or compare rather than just describe; are not limited to one measure of health, one age group, or one population subgroup; address issues of generalizability of findings beyond the particular population studied; include and compare different age groups and both genders; address access/utilization/appropriateness of health services for meeting different levels of need within and across populations. There is also interest in abstracts that provide evidence of an analysis of determinants of impact on equity outcomes.

Abstracts can be submitted by e-mail: mailto:leslie.nunez@utoronto.ca
