  • Description:
    Integrating and advancing health equity are a core tenant of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's mission. Comprehensive frameworks that clearly conceptualise equity are needed to prioritise and inform the advancement of health equity within public health.

    To help meet this need, the investigative team developed The Continuum of Health Equity Practice & Science (The Continuum). The Continuum was developed in two phases: (1) an initial survey distributed to internal CDC Division of Injury Prevention investigators, and (2) a review of public health frameworks and the current health equity evidence base.

    The Continuum is a framework that includes seven key components of health equity and ultimately aims to guide public health practice and research towards the advancement of health equity. To illustrate its usefulness, we provide an example using adolescent suicide for each component of The Continuum and demonstrate how this may inform efforts to advance health equity.

    With a specific focus on conceptualising health equity and addressing systemic inequities, The Continuum may be used to inform efforts to advance equity in injury prevention and beyond.
