Objectives

The aim of this project is to facilitate mutual learning by collecting and analysing information from different European
countries that will help policy-makers at the European and national level to develop rational strategies for tackling
socioeconomic inequalities in health.

The specific objectives are:

• To develop and collect health inequalities indicators, and to provide bench-marking data on inequalities in health
  and health determinants to participating countries;
• To assess evidence on the effectiveness of policies and interventions to tackle the determinants of health inequalities,
  and to make recommendations on strategies for reducing health inequalities in participating countries;
• To disseminate the results, and to develop a proposal for a permanent European clearing house on tackling health inequalities.
