Equity Theory01:26

Equity Theory

Equity theory explains how our sense of fairness influences the dynamics of close relationships. Rooted in social psychology, the theory posits that individuals evaluate fairness by comparing the ratio of their contributions to the rewards they receive. Relationship satisfaction is highest when these ratios are perceived as balanced between partners, promoting mutual reciprocity and a sense of justice.Equity vs. Equality in RelationshipsEquity is distinct from equality. Fairness does not...

Levels of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention

Health promotion allows a person to control the determinants of health, resulting in an improved health status. It enhances the quality of life and reduces premature deaths. Health promotion and illness prevention programs help people make beneficial choices to reduce the risk of disease and disabilities. There are three health promotion and illness prevention levels: primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention.
In primary prevention, actions taken before disease onset prevent the disease from...

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II

The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.
The agent-host-environment model states that disease results from...

Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System

At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is limited...

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention I

A model is a theoretical way to understand a concept or an idea. Models can overcome barriers to health regardless of diverse economic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, models make the task easier by providing different ways to approach complex issues. There are two major health promotion models: the health belief model and the health promotion model.
The health belief model (HBM) attempts to predict health-related behavior in specific belief patterns. According to the HBM, a person's...
Dimensions of Health and Illness01:21

Dimensions of Health and Illness

The factors influencing the health-illness continuum can be internal or external and may or may not be under conscious control. They are related to the following eight human dimensions, and each dimension is interrelated to one other.

Summary

This study introduces an effectiveness and equity framework (EEF) to evaluate health interventions and their impact on population healthy life expectancy. The EEF aids in selecting and assessing programs, linking health activities to outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Health Services Research
  • Health Economics

Background:

  • South Australia aims to enhance population healthy life expectancy.
  • Health policy planners need to understand the link between community health programs and healthy life expectancy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce an Effectiveness and Equity Framework (EEF) for evaluating health interventions in applied settings.
  • To demonstrate the EEF's application using coronary heart disease (CHD) management in South Australian general practice.

Main Methods:

  • The EEF accounts for population healthy life expectancy at various geographic levels.
  • It estimates average population health gains and socioeconomic subgroup gains from health programs.
  • Economic evaluation is performed by comparing health gains to health system costs across subgroups.

Main Results:

  • The EEF provides a multi-criteria performance matrix for decision-makers to summarize intervention program information.
  • It facilitates the reassessment of outcomes post-implementation, contributing to the evidence base.
  • The framework offers a practical method for selecting and evaluating health intervention programs.

Conclusions:

  • The EEF is a practical tool for evaluating health interventions and their impact on population health and equity.
  • Developing a supportive system culture and effective data capture is crucial for linking health system activities to population health outcomes.
