DMDatapwa MujongPPPoppy Angelica Spaceman PierceSHStuart Andrew Green Hofer

Key Points

  • Community-led approaches enhance the impact of interventions targeting ethnic health inequalities.
  • Strengthening power dynamics among faith communities can lead to better health outcomes.
  • Evaluating equity-focused outcomes is essential for effective public health strategies.
  • Guidance for decision-makers aims to support sustainable public health efforts against these inequalities.

Abstract

Faith communities are vital partners in tackling EHIs; however, they are currently engaged within a limited scope. Strengthening community-led approaches across health system footprints, addressing power dynamics, and evaluating behavioural, structural, and equity-focused outcomes can enhance their impact. The proposed practical actions provide decision-makers guidance to support inclusive, sustainable, and cost-effective public health interventions tackling EHIs.
