Eliciting public values on health inequalities: missing evidence for policy windows ?

This paper outlines how evidence of public values could be elicited through the use of stated preference techniques and suggests this could facilitate the creation of for tackling health inequalities. Additionally, Kingdon's MSA helps make explicit six cross-cutting issues when generating this new form of evidence. This suggests the need to explore reasons for public values and how decision-makers would use such evidence. With an awareness of these issues, evidence on public values has the potential to support policies to tackle health inequalities.
