This paper is an account of the Workshop on Utilization of Scientific Information, preceded by a description of the theoretical framework upon which it is based. Identifying and proposing governmental interventions to reduce health inequities is one of the Pan American Health Organization's priorities (PAHO). As with other health issues, decision-making to support health equity requires the constant use of scientific evidence to orient interventions and policy-making at local, national, and regional levels. Therefore, to better identify appropriate action plans related to health equity, PAHO has subsidized several studies on this topic.
