- Clarify principles of equity and develop approaches to construct legitimate ageweights and equity weights
- Explore the value and acceptability of incorporating non-health welfare gains andburdens from health interventions
- Develop methods and tools to analyze whether an intervention or delivery platformhave different
- impact on different levels of poverty
- impact on distribution of health
- Impact on distribution and level of population health
