The Utah County Health Department's Health Disparity Reduction Tool was created as a simple yet effective way to analyze programs, plans, services, events, strategies, media, surveys, and trainings to consider health disparities during creation and execution. The tool guides UCHD employees through a series of reflective questions that help them consider health disparities. For example, employees rate the following statement on a scale from "Strongly Agree" to "Strongly Disagree": "Individuals, clients, or populations can access and benefit from the event without barriers related to physical disabilities."
After completing all of the questions in the tool, they receive a score. The goal of this tool is not to achieve a perfect score, but rather to see steady improvement in their score each time they use it. Employees can find ideas on how to improve their score by reviewing a list of strategies and ideas to reduce disparities in their programs and services.

Anytime it says $[q://QID7/ChoiceGroup/SelectedChoices], you can replace that with what you're evaluating (event, program/service, etc.). To score the assessment, each "strongly agree" is worth 4 points, "agree" is worth 3, and so on until "I don't know" equals 0 points.
