J. Epidemiol. Community Health 2007;61;473-478 doi:10.1136/jech.2005.037242 Many countries are wrestling with the question of what can be done to address the serious social inequalities in health that they face. This article introduces the literature on theory-based approaches to the assessment of interventions and applies the logic to actions to tackle social inequalities in health. By doing so, it presents a typology which differentiates health inequality interventions by their underlying theories of how and why the measures proposed are expected to have their impact. It is designed to stimulate debate and understanding among practitioners and policy-makers about the range of different interventions available and their potential effectiveness for the task in hand.
