Based on diverse knowledge mix and expertise Jordan created the Average Health Status – Health Inequalities Matrix – a gold standard for assessing impacts on Population Health and Wellbeing from different policies, programs, projects and other interventions, including investments and business activities.
Being based on critical realism (if A then always B) the Matrix provides universal explanations and predictions and meets all forms of validity, thus solves problems with evidence. The Matrix facilitates designing, implementing and evaluation of inclusive policies that work at any level and local context, therefore, it paves the way for institutionalizing the inclusive policies. After the launch of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Jordan pointed out that SDGs are interrelated and SDG # 3 Good Health & Wellbeing is the common denominator for all of them. Therefore, for success in achieving the SDGs he suggests design and implementation of inclusive policies by applying HiAP approach, for which the Matrix is a superior tool.
