Dagens #fsvoversigt:

Intersectoral action for health equity: a rapid systematic review.

BMC Public Health. 2013;13:1056

Authors: Ndumbe-Eyoh S, Moffatt H

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Action on the social determinants of health is considered a 
necessary approach to improving health equity. Most of the social determinants 
of health lie outside the sphere of the health sector and thus collaboration 
with governmental and non-governmental sectors outside of health are required 
to develop policies and programs to improve health equity. Case studies of 
intersectoral action are available, however there is limited information about 
the impact of intersectoral action on the social determinants of health and 
health equity.

METHODS: Search and retrieval of literature published between 2001 and 2011 was 
conducted in 6 databases. A staged screening of titles and abstracts, and later 
full-text, was conducted by two independent reviewers. Reviewers independently 
assessed the quality of the articles deemed relevant for inclusion. Data were 
extracted and synthesized in narrative format for all included studies, 
conducted by one reviewer and checked by another.

RESULTS: 17 articles of varied methodological quality met the inclusion 
criteria. One systematic review investigating partnership interventions found 
mixed and limited impacts on health outcomes. Primary studies evaluating the 
impact of upstream and midstream interventions showed mixed effects. Downstream 
interventions were generally moderately effective in increasing the 
availability and use of services by marginalized communities.

CONCLUSIONS: The literature evaluating the impact of intersectoral action on 
health equity is limited. The included studies identified reveal a moderate to 
no effect on the social determinants of health. The evidence on the impact of 
intersectoral action on health equity is even more limited. The lack of 
evidence should not be interpreted as a lack of effect. Rigorous evaluations of 
intersectoral action are needed to strengthen the evidence base of this public 
health practice.
