Abstract
⺠Mental health of people considerably varies through different economic quintiles across the districts of Tehran. ⺠Average-oriented strategies do not suffice to rely on for improving mental health status and equity-oriented strategies should be considered. ⺠The 'extension to concentration index' has application in urban health policy by determining the importance of different economic quintiles. ⺠The 'achievement index' unmasks health status of the districts and therefore has policy implication by combining health averages with equity.
