Social and Regional Health Inequalities

Health inequalities affect the entire population across the country and across the social spectrum, and can emerge at a very young age. Measures that promote equal opportunities for everyone—including vulnerable populations—could help prevent them.

Our missions

  • To measure social and regional inequalities and their impact on health and the underlying mechanisms, in collaboration with researchers in this field

  • Documenting the social determinants that influence the health status of the population

  • Identify tools and levers for action to guide public policies and initiatives toward greater health equity

  • Promote and contribute to the evaluation of effective and promising interventions aimed at reducing health inequalities
