A combination of procedures, methods and tools by which a policy, program or project may be assessed for its potential, and often unanticipated, effects on the health of the population and the distribution of these impacts within the population.

Key features of HIA
• Prediction
• Combination of methods
• Policy, program or project
• Positive & negative
• Unintended & intended effects
• Distribution of effects
• Solution focused
• Promote & protect health

Six steps of HIA
1. Screening
2. Scoping
3. Identification of potential health impacts
4. Assessment of potential health impacts (appraisal)
5. Negotiation & decision-making (recommendations)
6. Monitoring & evaluation chetre.med.unsw.edu.au

Does it Work?
• What constitutes effectiveness?– Changes to decisions?– Changes to health outcomes?
• Monitoring
• Need for further evaluation
• Examples of effective use:– Finningley Airport HIA– CCDPHA HIA
