Guiding Questions.

  1. Have I taken the time to consider my own power and privilege and explore how it manifests within the project delivery process?

  2. Do all decision-makers and team members have a baseline understanding of health equity? How might we support decision-makers and team members to normalize a health equity centered approach within this project?

  3. What is the history of the community impacted by and served by the project? How might community health and social equity priorities be addressed by the project? What community groups should be involved in the project’s visioning and goal setting?

  4. Are we being inclusive in our definition of project user or customer?

  5. What is our project positioning or value proposition relative to health equity?

  6. Who could we contact to help us answer the questions on this page?
