There are large differences in life expectancy and the burden of ill health across the UK, both geographically and between different socioeconomic groups. In order to address health inequalities resources must be directed towards policies and programmes that not only improve health overall, but that also reduce the health gap. One of the difficulties for decision makers, however, is that they often do not know what impact a proposed programme will have on health inequalities, or indeed on overall health. This is a particular problem when the proposed programme is complex, an example being the current School Travel Plan initiative. This particular programme has many potential effects on health, both positive and negative, and these may differ in different areas and in different populations.One approach to predicting the costs and health effects of a health promoting programme is through health economic modelling. These mathematical models attempt to replicate the real world in a simplified fashion, combining evidence from diverse sources in order to estimate the outcome of a proposed course of action. This project aims to develop such a model for the school travel plan programme in order to estimate costs, health consequences and the impact on health inequality.

在英国，无论是在地理上还是在不同的社会经济群体之间，预期寿命和健康状况不佳的负担都存在很大差异。为了解决保健不平等问题，必须将资源用于不仅能改善总体健康状况，而且能缩小保健差距的政策和方案。然而，决策者面临的困难之一是，他们往往不知道拟议的方案将对保健不平等产生何种影响，或者实际上对总体健康产生何种影响。当拟议的方案很复杂时，这是一个特别的问题，例如目前的学校旅行计划倡议。这一特殊方案对健康有许多积极和消极的潜在影响，这些影响在不同地区和不同人群中可能有所不同。预测健康促进规划的成本和健康影响的一种方法是建立健康经济模型。这些数学模型试图以一种简化的方式复制现实世界，结合来自不同来源的证据，以估计所提议的行动方案的结果。本项目旨在为学校旅行计划方案制定这样一个模型，以便估计费用、健康后果和对健康不平等的影响。
