Advancing Health Equity: A critical thinking tool for organizations, programs, and individuals committed to equity

This online tool walks you through 8 topics of public health processes with a focus on health equity. Each topic includes questions that motivate you to enhance collaboration and consider how to improve health equity and reduce health disparities in your community program, project, or policy. Enjoy the tool’s flexibility, which encourages you to find the information you need now and to return over time as you make decisions for your organization or program. 

This online tool will enable you to:

• Analyze internal and external agency practices to identify ways in which you support or hinder the achievement of health equity.

• Identify practices that you and your agency/program can undertake to advance health equity.

• Describe how taking a strengths-based and community-inclusive approach to your work can help to advance health equity.

If this is your first time registering for a training or tool through the Rocky Mountain Public Health Training Center, you will be asked to provide some demographic information requested by our funders. You will then have a quick one-click registration for other learning opportunities through your username and password. 

Registering for this online tool also provides us a way to follow-up with you to learn how the tool was useful to you in your work - or ways in which we can improve its usefulness.
