Abstract / Resumen:
The Health inequality monitoring eLearning module is an overview of health inequality monitoring, aiming to build theoretical and technical capacity for health inequality monitoring across diverse settings and health topics. This module introduces and explores the five general steps of monitoring as they pertain to health inequality monitoring: selecting health indicators and equity stratifiers, obtaining data, analysing data, reporting results and implementing changes. A comprehensive applied example of health inequality monitoring in the Philippines demonstrates how the concepts can be applied in the context of low- and middle-income countries. This module is presented in eight chapters, which are each followed by a number of quiz questions and an application exercise. In each chapter, additional information and examples are available to facilitate a more-thorough understanding of the material. The entire module takes approximately four hours to complete, and is not timed.
