There are large differences in life expectancy and the burden of ill health across the UK, both geographically and between different socioeconomic groups. In order to address health inequalities resources must be directed towards policies and programmes that not only improve health overall, but that also reduce the health gap. One of the difficulties for decision makers, however, is that they often do not know what impact a proposed programme will have on health inequalities, or indeed on overall health. This is a particular problem when the proposed programme is complex, an example being the current School Travel Plan initiative. This particular programme has many potential effects on health, both positive and negative, and these may differ in different areas and in different populations.One approach to predicting the costs and health effects of a health promoting programme is through health economic modelling. These mathematical models attempt to replicate the real world in a simplified fashion, combining evidence from diverse sources in order to estimate the outcome of a proposed course of action. This project aims to develop such a model for the school travel plan programme in order to estimate costs, health consequences and the impact on health inequality.

在地理位置以及不同社会经济群体之间，预期寿命和健康疾病负担很大。为了解决健康不平等，必须针对政策和计划，这些政策和计划不仅可以改善整体健康状况，还可以减少健康差距。但是，决策者的困难之一是，他们常常不知道拟议计划对健康不平等或实际上对整体健康的影响会产生什么影响。当提议的计划很复杂时，这是一个特殊的问题，一个例子是当前的学校旅行计划计划。该特定计划对正面和负面的健康有许多潜在的影响，并且在不同领域和不同人群中可能有所不同。预测促进健康计划的成本和健康影响的一种方法是通过健康经济建模。这些数学模型试图以简化的方式复制现实世界，结合了来自不同来源的证据，以估算提出的行动方案的结果。该项目旨在为学校旅行计划计划开发这样的模型，以估计成本，健康后果和对健康不平等的影响。
