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. 

Working Definitions
Equity in health: The absence of systematic and potentially remediable differences in one or more aspects of health across populations or population groups defined socially, economically, demographically, or geographically.

Inequity in health: Systematic and potentially remediable differences in one or more aspects of health across populations or population groups defined socially, economically, demographically, or geographically.

Equity (policy and actions): Active policy decisions and programmatic actions directed at improving equity in health or in reducing or eliminating inequalities in health.
