“Health equity is an area of major interest to health service researchers and
policy makers, particularly those with a concern for low- and middle-income
countries. This volume provides a practical hands-on guide to data and methods
for the measurement and interpretation of health equity. It will act as a bridge
between the academic literature that ‘tends to neglect practical details’ and the
needs of practitioners for a clear guide on ‘how to do it.’ In my judgment this
volume will become a standard text in the field of health equity analysis and will
attract a wide international audience.”

“This is an excellent and exciting collection of knowledge of analytical techniques for
measuring health status and equity. This will be a very useful and widely cited book.”
