People living in the least deprived areas can expect to live almost two decades longer in good health than those in the most deprived areas

Scenarios

We design public health campaigns and interventions that consider the cultural, social, and economic contexts of different communities. Without understanding context, you limit effectiveness
We conduct health surveys and epidemiological studies, ensuring there’s diverse representation in data on health behaviours, outcomes, and risks to get a comprehensive, unbiased view of public health
When developing dietary, exercise, or other health-related guidelines, we consider the needs and contexts of different populations, to ensure that recommendations are relevant and achievable for all
As advances are made in digital health technology, we partner with users, to ensure that these technologies are accessible and effective for diverse populations, ensuring that they aren’t alienating by design
