National Health Inequalities Tool Kit
Leeds Health Inequalities Toolkit:This toolkit has been developed by the Leeds Tackling Health Inequalities Group Expert Advisory group (THIG) to help you do just that. It focusses on what healthcare can do to tackle inequalities If we all do something, towards the same goals, we have a much better chance of making a fairer, more equal Leeds, where ‘people who are the poorest improve their health the fastest’ (Leeds Health and Wellbeing Strategy)

Prevention
Definitions Primary and Secondary Prevention.
Primordial Prevention and social determinants of health: It consists of risk factor reduction targeted towards an entire population through a focus on social and environmental conditions. Such measures typically get promoted through laws and national policy. Dahlgren and Whitehead model (Chapter 6: social determinants of health – GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) These are the areas Local Authority and national government lead on, and at a local level where we work in partnership with Local Care Partnerships Prevention Strategies – Stat Pearls – NCBI Bookshelf (nih.gov)
Primary Prevention: Intervening before ill health effects occur, through measures such as vaccinations, altering ‘risky’ behaviours (poor eating habits, tobacco use), and banning substances known to be associated with a disease or health condition. Prevention Strategies – StatPearls – NCBI Bookshelf (nih.gov)
Secondary Prevention—screening to identify diseases in the earliest stages, before the onset of signs and symptoms, through measures such as mammography and regular blood pressure testing.
