Health Equity Index
Author: Connecticut Association of Directors of Health

Abstract: The Health Equity Index (Index) is a community-based electronic tool, the first of its kind in the nation, that profiles and measures the social determinants (including the social, political, economic, and environmental conditions) that affect health and their correlations with specific health outcomes. The Index also generates community-specific scores and GIS maps. Moreover, the Index provides direction for collecting additional qualitative data—the narrative of those experiencing or witnessing health inequities. This narrative may be collected from interviews or recorded through media including photos, video, and audio-taping.
