*I would call this summary "research as if people do not matter" or "when
the computer* is king"*....look at one of the reasons being given for more
research on equity : increasd computer power being available...  I hope the
book is not like that.*

"….Health equity has become an increasingly popular research topic during
the course of the past 25 years. Many factors explain this trend, including
a

growing demand from policymakers, better and more plentiful household data,
and increased computer power. But progress in quantifying and understanding
health equities would not have been possible without appropriate analytic
techniques.



These techniques are the subject of this book. The book includes chapters
dealing with data issues and the measurement of the key variables in health

equity analysis (Part i), quantitative techniques for interpreting and
presenting health equity data (Part ii), and the application of these
techniques

in the analysis of equity in health care utilization and health care
spending (Part iii). The aim of the book is to provide researchers and
analysts with a

step-by-step practical guide to the measurement of a variety of aspects of
health equity, with worked examples and computer code, mostly for the
computer

program Stata.



 It is hoped that these step-by-step guides, and the easy-to-implement
computer routines contained in them, will help stimulate yet more research
in the field, especially policy-oriented health equity research that enables
researchers to help policymakers develop and evaluate programs to reduce
health inequities…."
