        Equity has been identified as a core component of quality healthcare in Ontario. However, translating policy into practice can be challenging. This paper reports results from a province-wide survey of early psychosis intervention programs to assess the extent to which equity has been incorporated into program delivery. All 56 programs (100%) completed the survey. Results found that while most programs perceive that they are meeting equity aims, they reported limited use of practices to support this aim, and few systematically collect information on performance. Strategies to improve equity in practice are discussed.
        L'équité a été désignée comme composante centrale de la qualité des services de santé en Ontario. Cependant, transposer les politiques en pratiques présente un défi. Cet article fait état des résultats d'un sondage provincial mené auprès des programmes d'intervention précoce dans le traitement de la psychose, et ce, afin d'évaluer dans quelle mesure l'équité fait partie de la mise en oeuvre du programme. L'ensemble des 56 programmes (100 %) ont répondu au sondage. Les résultats montrent que bien que la plupart des programmes ont la perception qu'ils atteignent les cibles en matière d'équité, ils rapportent avoir peu recourt aux pratiques qui soutiennent cet objectif, et peu de programmes recueillent systématiquement des données sur le rendement. L'article discute des stratégies visant à améliorer la équité dans la pratique.
