L'universalisme proportionné constitue une approche mixte, se situant à l'interface entre l'approche universelle et l'approche ciblée. [...] Il préconise le développement d'interventions universelles, mais selon une échelle et une intensité proportionnelles au degré de défavorisation des individus. Cela permettrait ainsi d'améliorer l'état de santé de l'ensemble de la population, tout en favorisant la réduction des écarts de santé entre les différents groupes sociaux. 2, record 2, French, - universalisme%20proportionn%C3%A9
