Health Inequality Monitoring
About the Course Series:
Health inequalities exist in every population. With the necessary data, health inequalities can be measured, compared and tracked over time.
Health inequality monitoring entails quantifying and assessing health inequalities in a defined population to inform where changes are needed to advance health equity.
The WHO Health Inequality Monitoring eLearning course series introduces the foundational concepts, best practices, tools and skills required to conduct health inequality monitoring.
These courses were previously hosted on the OpenWHO platform. Funding for course updates was provided by Bloomberg Philanthropies Data for Health Initiative.
For more health inequality monitoring tools and resources, please see the WHO Health Inequality Monitor website.
Who the Courses Are For
Monitoring and evaluation officers, data analysts, academics and researchers, public health professionals, medical and public health students, and others with a general interest in health data, inequality monitoring and data analysis.
