The Forum has relied on volunteers to spread the word through a website on the key issues, presenting lecture series, hosting speakers, creating public events, tabling at other events, producing printed materials and contributing to other forums. The website began as an annotated bibliography of publications on inequality and health in the late 1990s. Today it presents current concepts and notices for meetings.
