Health equity strategies to mitigate future health crises
In May 2021, dozens of experts scored pandemic preparation strategies by priority and feasibility on a 1-to-5 scale. Dots show the average scores for each.
This chart plots the average priority score and average feasibility score for various pandemic preparedness strategies related to health equity. The scores are from a survey of experts who ranked each strategy on a scale of 1 to 5. For nearly every strategy, priority received a higher score than feasibility, but to varying degrees. For example, bolstering the public-health workforce in rural and remote regions received a priority score of 4.6 out of 5, and a feasibility score of 3.4 out of 5; training community volunteers to distribute PPE and vaccines received a priority score of 3.8 and a feasibility score of 3.9.
