Finally, the committee summarizes a number of lessons learned from both the success and the failures of the strategies described. The committee also comments on a number of crosscutting essential elements that show promise for promoting health equity in communities. The committee provides a summary of each example to demonstrate both the innovative work conducted by communities and the challenges that they face. The examples identified in this chapter span health and non-health sectors and take into account the range of factors that contribute to health inequity in the United States, such as systems of employment, public safety, housing, transportation, education, and others. The committee was asked to identify and examine six or more examples of community-based solutions (see the report conceptual model in Figure 5-1) that address health inequities, drawing from interventions or activities that intentionally or indirectly promote equal opportunities for health. Too often these community efforts go unmentioned in the media while stories of blight, crime, or community unrest receive more attention. Examples of Communities Tackling Health InequityД¬ommunities across the United States are developing and putting into action strategies that can contribute to the reduction of health inequities.
