Table 4 Solutions to health inequalities based on individual explanations

From: From causes to solutions - insights from lay knowledge about health inequalities

General Education (schooling)

...you get them to value education and seeing education as a means to get them out of the rut, getting themselves more options... (Marlene, 54, O)

Education in life skills

I'd start teaching children from primary school age about nutrition and how to prepare food...(Beatrice, 46, Pr)

Family intervention

I think family intervention with people going into the homes and actually working with families could do a lot...but I really do believe that much more personal interaction in a number of these families would help. (Margaret, 68, B)

Health promotion campaigns

I suppose try and initiate some good healthy campaign in the Port Adelaide region...put a program in place to get people out there exercising. (Justine, 26, B)
