Los Angeles County Public Health Equity Framework


The Los Angeles County Public Health Equity Framework was developed based on the Department of Public Health's collective work to address health inequities and was informed by community partnerships. The framework serves as a guide for designing or enhancing Public Health programs and administrative practices to achieve health equity, determine the best use of resources and investments, and ultimately achieve desired results in Los Angeles County.

The Equity Framework identifies social, economic, and environmental factors to consider at every level of analysis and planning, guiding principles that serve as a foundation for actions and decision-making in our work, and a set of core efforts  to help organize strategies for impact towards desired results. There is also a set of questions for developing performance measures to assess and make improvements.
