  • Considering health equity when moving from evidence-based guideline recommendations to implementation

    Open AccessJavier Eslava-Schmalbach, Paola A Mosquera et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2017Cited by: 1References: 19

Evidence-based clinical practice and public health guidelines ('guidelines') can be used to target health inequities experienced by disadvantaged populations, although g…
