The WHO Collaborating Centre for Knowledge Translation and Health Technology Assessment in Health Equity, housed at the Centre for Global Health at the University of Ottawa, is currently in the process of updating and expanding its Equity-Oriented Toolkit.

The Equity -Oriented Toolkit is based on a needs-based model of HTA. It provides tools that explicitly consider health equity at each of the four steps of health technology assessment:
1) Burden of Illness,
2) Community Effectiveness,
3) Economic Evaluation,
4) Knowledge Translation and Implementation.

It also incorporates concepts of health impact assessment within the HTA process. They are seeking suggestions on validated and widely disseminated HTA tools that explicitly consider health equity and that are relevant to the toolkit.

These tools may be specific analytical methods such as the Disability-Adjusted Life Years, checklists such as the Health Impact Screening Checklist, software programs such as the Harvard Policy Maker, databases such as The Cochrane Library, etc.

For more information on the Toolkit and additional examples of tools to be included, or suggestions of tools to be considered, please contact
