Leadership is often cited as critical to public health action on the social determinants of health to advance health equity.
The National Collaborating Centre for Determinants of Health hosted an online conversation in the Health Equity Clicks online community to explore questions of leadership and health equity, specifically:
What does effective public health leadership for the social determinants of health and health equity entail and how can it be developed?
The conversation took place in January 2013, and was moderated by Sume Ndumbe-Eyoh, Knowledge Translation Specialist. Guest contributors Monika Dutt, Trevor Hancock, and Jane Underwood kicked-off the conversation, and were soon followed by other members of the Health Equity Clicks community.
This summary includes the conversation highlights, and practice examples and resources shared by participants.
