Health Equity Resources for LHINs: Building Equity-Focused Evaluation

In an era of limited resources and quality-driven reform, it is crucial to know how policies and service interventions are working.  This is just as important to equity, and an important part of equity strategy must be evaluating what initiatives are most effective in reducing barriers and enhancing services for the most vulnerable. I presented to a workshop on this challenge.

Wellesley partnered with the Paloma Foundation to develop resources for participatory evaluation.

These notes set out a framework to ground equity-focused evaluation.

Acknowledgement of Traditional Land

We wish to acknowledge this land on which the Wellesley Institute operates. For thousands of years, it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
