Reducing health inequities and social exclusion: improved theory, understanding and policies

这项研究将提供知识，帮助理解为什么一些群体比其他群体更不健康，更少被纳入社会主流。研究证据表明，缩小健康状况的差异，让更多的公民参与社会活动，总体上有利于健康，有利于经济发展。该计划将为澳大利亚和其他国家的政府提供更好的证据，证明在改善人口健康方面哪些有效，哪些无效，从而能够更好地决定投资哪些公共项目。因此，在该计划下进行的研究将为澳大利亚和海外人口实现更长寿和更有成效的生活提供信息

This research will provide knowledge to help understanding of why some groups are less healthy and less included in the mainstream of society than others. Research evidence indicates that reducing differences in health status & making more citizens included in the activities of society has overall health benefits & is good for economic development. The program will provide Australian and other governments with much improved evidence about what works, what does not work in terms of improving population health and so enable better decisions about which public programs to invest in. Thus the research conducted under this program will inform ways in which Australian and overseas populations can achieve long and more productive lives
