N1  - Summary: “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”—(back cover).; Contents: Introduction—Data for health equity analysis : requirements, sources, and sample design—Health outcome #1 : child survival—Health outcome #2 : anthropometrics—Health outcome #3 : adult health—Measurement of living standards—Concentration curves—The concentration index—Extensions to the concentration index : inequality aversion and the health achievement index—Multivariate analysis of health survey data—Nonlinear models for health and medical expenditure data—Explaining differences between groups : Oaxaca decomposition—Explaining socioeconomic-related health inequality : decomposition of the concentration index—Who benefits from health sector subsidies?
