Description:
Race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability, socioeconomic status and geographic location can all impact a person’s ability to enjoy optimal health. Too often, they also lead to high rates of tobacco use and poor behavioral health outcomes. What can we, as public health and behavioral health professionals, do to advance health equity and build healthier communities?
We can adopt the Triple Aim of Health Equity to improve care, health and costs. Using this multi-pronged framework, we can expand our understanding of what creates health, take a “health in all policies” approach to the goal of health equity and strengthen the capacity of communities to create their own healthy future.
