Abstract

People living in disadvantaged neighborhoods have higher rates of mortality and morbidity than more prosperous groups in society. Further, they participate less in health-related activities and services.
Community-based health interventions can potentially reduce the social inequality in health, though effects varies and are highly context-dependent. Why, when and to whom these interventions works is a black box requiring further investigation.
In selected disadvantaged neighborhoods of Aalborg, a community-based intervention is embedded and this is being evaluated.
