    Purpose of the Study:

    • To critically examine the concept of "health gain" as proposed by the Association for Public Health.
    • To explore the potential conflict between "health gain" and the principle of health equality.
    • To advocate for a broader debate on the implications of "health gain" for public health strategies.

    Main Results:

    • The concept of "health gain" may be inherently counter to the goal of health equality.
    • The focus on "health gain" could potentially exacerbate existing health disparities.

    Conclusions:

    • The Association for Public Health's "health gain" objective requires careful consideration and wider debate.
    • Ensuring health equity must remain a central tenet of public health initiatives, potentially challenging the "health gain" paradigm.
