Health Equity

Health equity is the principle and practice of ensuring that everyone has a fair and just opportunity to achieve their highest level of health. It involves identifying and addressing avoidable disparities that arise from social, economic, environmental, and structural factors. RTI advances health equity by working with partners to design programs, conduct research, and develop policies that reduce barriers and promote equitable access to care and resources.
