| description | This study derives a generalised global framework for transport, health and health equity, based on a synthesis of 94 urban transport and health frameworks. The framework emphasises factors related to health equity, which are generally ignored in existing conceptual frameworks on the relationship between transport and health. While some factors such as travel behaviour were included in most reviewed frameworks, climate change and other macro-level factors were included in less than a quarter of frameworks, and health equity was included in less than 10%. We developed a framework that includes key framework components identified by a scoping review, as well as addressing important gaps. This framework can be utilized to inform work on transport, health and health equity by different agencies such as the World Health Organization. It can be used to guide health sector engagement with transport issues to lead to healthier and more equitable transport decision-making globally. |
