TOPHC 2022 Spring Workshop: Using CIHI's Measuring Health Inequalities Toolkit to Advance Health Equity

About this event

The Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) maintains a toolkit on measuring health inequalities, which is organized in three phases: planning your analysis, analyzing your data and reporting your findings. This workshop will provide participants with an overview of the Measuring Health Inequalities Toolkit. During the workshop, participants will have the opportunity to apply key concepts and tools from the Toolkit using health indicator examples. Participants will learn how to use standard equity stratifier definitions, identify available stratifiers in selected CIHI and Statistics Canada data, understand how indicator rates and summary measures are calculated, and apply key guidelines for interpreting and reporting inequalities.

Intended audience: This 2-hour session is designed to support public health professionals, such as health analysts and researchers, with measuring and reporting on health inequalities, with a focus on stratifying health indicators.

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

Understand how to use the Toolkit resources to support the following activities:

  • select relevant equity stratifiers
  • access equity stratifier data
  • calculate stratified health indicator rates
  • quantify inequalities using summary measures
  • interpret results for key findings

Continued Conversations (optional 12:00 p.m. – 12:30 p.m. EDT)

Join us after the workshop for an optional 30-minute discussion and networking session. A PHO facilitator will lead the Continued Conversation session where participants will discuss the key topics and themes from the workshop.
