Health equity requires allocation of resources to eliminate the systematic disparities in health, imposed on marginalized groups, which adversely impact outcomes. A socioecological approach is implemented to elucidate the role of health equity research and policy for underrepresented minority and socioeconomically disadvantaged populations. Through investigation of the individual, community, institution, and public policy, we investigate problems and propose solutions to ensure fair and just treatment of all patients requiring hand surgery.
健康公平需要分配资源,以消除强加给边缘化群体的、对结果产生不利影响的系统性健康差异。实施社会生态学方法来阐明健康公平研究和政策对于代表性不足的少数群体和社会经济处于不利地位的人群的作用。通过对个人、社区、机构和公共政策的调查,我们研究问题并提出解决方案,以确保所有需要手部手术的患者都得到公平公正的待遇。
