Aimed at academics, population health practitioners and policy makers interested in understanding and reducing health inequalities in children and adolescents, this workshop presented both methodological research, concerned with developments aimed to better understand causal effects and possible biases in inequalities research, and applied research concerned with recent evidence on inequalities in health in children and adolescents and policy implications of these.
