Evidence into Policy and Practice?
Measuring the Progress of U.S. and U.K. Policies to Tackle Disparities and Inequalities in Health and Health Care
The range of tools used to measure progress toward eliminating racial and ethnic disparities in health care is as large as the problems themselves. In a Commonwealth Funded study published in Milbank Quarterly, researchers led by former Harkness Fellow Mark Exworthy of the University of London analyze efforts under way in the U.S. and U.K. to address disparities, from national public health goals to report cards compiled at every level of the health system. The authors identify what works, while laying out the challenges researchers and policymakers face in devising and using these tools. Ultimately, successful strategies to reduce disparities in health care will depend on the validity of these measurement mechanisms.
