What is the health equity resource database?

The database is focused on Europe and European countries.
You can filter results by type (for example: health inequalities research, organisation, intervention/practice, or policy) and theme (for example: built environment, education, or employment). You can also filter by country, or find cross-border collaborations. The level filter allows you to find local, national, European or international entries. Use the search bar to search for keywords.
