Overview
Veinot et al discuss the potential of upstream health informatics interventions to enhance health equity. It is by now well-established that both health and health disparities are profoundly social phenomena. However, the majority of consumer health informatics interventions to date have focused solely on individuals, with particular attention accorded to influencing individual-level psychosocial characteristics and health behaviors. Despite the potential advantages of upstream interventions, their broad nature means that there are conceptual difficulties in applying this approach in health informatics. The authors introduce a model of health disparities that identifies potential targets for intervention at different levels of social organization. They also discuss types of noninformatics interventions that have addressed these targets.
