Debates about how health inequalities are conceptualized, measuredm and monitored -- Trends in the UK's health inequalities over the past 30 years -- Empirically informed theories fir understanding health inequalities | |

Abstract Background Health-related stigma is a complex phenomenon, the experience of which intersects with those of other adversities arising from a diversity of social inequalities and oppressive identities like gender, sexuality, and poverty – a concept called “intersectionality”.
