Hello,
The National Collaborating Centre for Determinants of Health (NCCDH) is excited to announce
3 new resources for the public health community that focus on redistributing power to advance health equity. These resources are available in both English and French.
Power imbalance is a root cause of health inequity - those who benefit from and perpetuate
the inequitable status quo have power, while communities who live in marginalized conditions lack power. To advance health equity, public health practitioners must be able to recognize and analyze power imbalances and deploy strategies to build community power
and limit the power of those who benefit from inequity.
Take a look at these resources to discover how power influences equity, and how public health can take action to redistribute power through its research, programs,
resources, and services.
