The Conference Theme: Creating Healthy Societies through Inclusion and
Equity

Website:  http://www.iseqh.org/temp_conf2006.htm

In addition, the conference will focus on two new topics, to encourage the
presentation and discussion of research and evaluation on the achievement
of equity:

·        aboriginal health, acknowledging the need to address the
inequities experienced by many indigenous communities; and

·        arts and equity in health, exploring ways to evaluate how working
through the arts improves social inclusion and enhances equity in health.
