  2. Objectives Facilitate international research partnerships and networking of social scientists from Brazil, India and the UK Analyse large-scale national survey data to address policy-oriented research problems in the area related to social inequalities and population health Share research experiences and build capacity in quantitative analysis of health and demographic data from household surveys Produce joint academic research outputs and disseminate findings at international conferences Identify priority research areas and strengthen the research consortium by developing joint research proposals.

  6. Research questions (1) What are the assessment criteria to measure and quantify inequalities in health care access in Brazil and India? What is the extent of inequalities in access to health care and how do these vary over time and within (intra) and across (inter) wealth and expenditure classes and by geographical location of residence? What are the individual, household and community barriers to health care access and how these differ between Brazil and India?

  7. Research questions (2) How do individual, household and community attributes interact and mediate the relationship between household wealth and health care access? What is the extent of heterogeneity in health care access at the community level? To what extent do differences in inequalities in access to health care between Brazil and India reflect differences in health care system functioning and policies and whether they have narrowed or widened the gap between the rich and the poor?
