q2 · i? · design · r2

The article reports this second-hand, attributing it to the National Collaborating Center for Determinants of Health's 2023 rapid review identifying 47 health equity frameworks applicable to public health systems. The review's design was not read directly.

"One finding was that many frameworks, even those acknowledging structural drivers, lacked detailed guidance on implementation."
