500			_aSummary: “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).
