Strategies for knowledge exchange for action to address place-based determinants of health inequalities: an umbrella review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Place-based health inequalities persist despite decades of academics and other stakeholders generating ideas and evidence on how to reduce them. This may in part reflect a failure in effective knowledge exchange (KE).
