The Institute of Health Equity was commissioned to work with the local authority and local partners. It's aim was to develop detailed research to understand the health inequalities experienced across Waltham Forest and their impacts.
Several socioeconomic factors determine people's health, such as:
- occupation
- education
- income
- wealth
- and where they live
which account for avoidable and systematic health disparities.
The report ‘A Fairer and Healthier Waltham Forest’ has vital insights into the health inequalities experienced by our communities. It includes recommendations to reduce these inequalities and improve health outcomes for all.
