DETERMINE (2007-2010) is an EU wide initiative to stimulate action to address the social and economic determinants of health (SDH) and to improve health equity in the EU and its Member States.  It brings together a Consortium of health bodies, public health and health promotion institutes, governments and various other nongovernmental, professional and academic organizations and networks from 26 European countries. Achieving equal opportunities for health and strong health outcomes for everyone in society, and leveling up the health gradient is an ambitious and complex goal, which cannot be achieved by the health sector alone, but is a shared responsibility across sectors. This requires exchanging knowledge and building capacities at the organisational level and across government to e.g. raise awareness and build partnerships.
DETERMINE is co-funded by the EC Public Health Action Programme and coordinated by EuroHealthNet in collaboration with the National Institute for Public Health in the Czech Republic.
