Health equity and health inequalities

NHS equity indicators

The NHS uses local health inequality monitoring tools developed by the Centre for Health Economics. Our cutting-edge research has re-engineered health inequality indicators to make them useful for local and national decision makers. More information

Distributional cost-effectiveness analysis (DCEA)

We have developed practical methods for using cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) to quantify and compare the equity impacts of health programmes. These methods provide information about who gains and who loses from health programmes, and the trade-offs that sometimes arise between improving total health and reducing health inequalities.
