What is Health Equity? Deficiencies in healthcare access, treatment, and outcomes across populations are predictable, avoidable and unjust. These inequalities or disparities challenge public health policies, health advocates and medical professionals every day. Health equity is achieved when all gaps no longer exist, and individuals across different populations attain their full health potential. Why is health equity important for public health? Gaps in health and healthcare across the United States continue to grow. They are reflected in the differences in length of life, quality of life, rates of disease, the severity of disease, access to treatment and death among those unable to achieve health equity due to social determinants such as: Residential segregation
Language and literacy
Availability of resources to meet daily needs
Access to educational, economic and job opportunities
Availability of community-based resources
Access to healthcare services
Social support
Transportation options
Exposure to social disorder, crime and violence
Public safety
Social norms and attitudes
Access to mass media and emerging technologies
Overcoming these social determinants and attaining health equity among these disadvantaged groups improves the health of the overall population and ensures the social justice of inclusion for all individuals. Bachelor’s Degree in Health Equity
Few of the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH) accredited institutions offer bachelor’s degrees in public health with the health equity concentration. When accredited, this academic program provides students a solid foundation in statistical analysis and research methods and positions graduates for entry-level employment in medicine, health education and global health research.
