ABSTRACT
The Ministry of Health has committed a health inequalities impact assessment of the pandemic and policy response to the pandemic in Italy. The document reviewed the knowledge available to estimate the effect of the main mechanisms for generating health that primarily deserve mitigation. The results recommend to give priority to interventions of proportionate universalism that avoid in short term the social discrimination related to a) the recovery of non-COVID-19 treatments that have been displaced due in the lockdown, b) the access to prevention, immunization and territorial care for people most susceptible to unfavourable outcomes of COVID-19 due to comorbidity and most vulnerable to social disadvantage due to lockdown;c) the loss of social support for fragile and disabled people. In the medium to long term priorities are to protect those with low income and precarious work from social exclusion and the effects on mental and physical health;enable children from families at risk of poverty to benefit from suitable development opportunities;promote resilient and inclusive local communities to reduce isolation and generate help resources;also valuing the beneficial aspects of the pandemic trust assets to health and adherence to health promotion, more physical exercise, etc. The report has also identified priorities for research including mechanisms that are more difficult to investigate, such as studying the interaction between environmental risks and the risk of COVID-19 infection and progression and the unequal mental health effects of the pandemic and confinement.
