Abstract
his post summarises new research on the health equity strategy Health in All Policies. As our previous post (https://paulcairney.wordpress.com/2020/04/13/coronavirus-and-the-social-determinants-of-health-lessons-from-health-in-all-policies-initiatives/) suggests, it is common to hope that a major event will create a ‘window of opportunity’ for such strategies to flourish, but the current COVID-19 experience suggests otherwise. If so, what do HIAP studies tell us about how to respond, and do they offer any hope for future strategies? The full report (*awaiting peer review*) is on Open Research Europe, accompanied (soon) by a brief interview on its contribution to the Horizon 2020 project – IMAJINE – on spatial justice.
