Abstract:
Against the background of health inequalities, the German Federal Centre for Health Education (BZgA) has coordinated the European project 'Closing the Gap: Strategies for Action to Tackle Health Inequalities in Europe'. Describing the state of the art of reducing health inequalities in each participating country has been one output of the EU project. The aim of this contribution is to present information for Germany with regard to research, political background, initiatives, quality and evaluation of interventions and public awareness. Despite the lack of a national strategy to tackle health inequalities, it can be concluded that there is a range of important activities which are supported by the federal government and which comprise different actors and sectors. Knowledge transfer across Europe can be helpful within the conception of a concerted action.
