Places & communities workstream A workpackage 1 aims to inform local level decision –making on delivering place-based strategies to improve health and reduce inequalities during times of economic insecurity. It begins by scoping out the topic area relevant to our research question, through literature review and stakeholder consultation. Besides synthesising empirical findings, WP1 will provide the theoretical underpinning for the Programme developing a typology of strategies and interventions for reducing health inequalities with scarce resources – and generating theories underpinning our assumptions of how different types of approach impact upon health inequalities.
