Health Equity Survey: A Request to Share Knowledge, Experience and Expertise

by Arlene Moscovitch (416-531-3108) arlenem1@sympatico.ca

This survey, funded by Echo: Improving Women’s Health in Ontario, is part of a project called “Making Gender-Based and Equity-Assisting Frameworks Accessible: Knowledge Translation Strategies for Ontario's Healthcare Professionals”.

Please take 15 minutes and fill out this anonymous survey. It will help the Project Team* understand how Ontario’s health-care professionals use an equity lens in their work. It is one way for you to influence development of knowledge translation strategies and tools to support health-care providers, planners, and policy-makers as well as expand equity as a key criterion when developing, implementing, and evaluating health programs and services. Please fill out the survey by June 30, 2010.

The online survey can be accessed at:

We want to thank you in advance for your help in getting the survey widely distributed. If you have any further questions or concerns, please contact Arlene Moscovitch at 416-531-3108 or by e-mail at arlenem1@sympatico.ca
