Institutionalisation of health impact assessment. A systematic scoping review and development of a descriptive conceptual framework
Health impact assessment (HIA) is a flexible, evidence-informed process used to evaluate the health and equity implications of decisions, policies and plans. While HIA has gained global traction, its institutionalisation – defined as the systematic integration of HIA into decision-making – remains uneven across contexts. This paper explores how HIA institutionalisation is conceptualised, identifying key facilitators, barriers and conditions that …
Routemap for health impact assessment implementation
Health Impact Assessment (HIA) provides a practical set of tools to appraise the potential health effects of a policy, programme, or project prior to implementation. HIA has gained significant attention in recent decades due to its utility in facilitating a broader understanding of health and bringing diverse stakeholders and evidence into decision-making processes. Despite this interest in HIA its implementation remains challenging within govern…
Health impact assessments should be mandatory for all relevant government policies
Consistent and systematic integration of health considerations in upstream political decision making is needed to improve population health and enhance health equity. Previous research supports the effectiveness of Health Impact Assessments (HIA), as a key component of a Health in All Policies (HiAP) approach, demonstrating its ability to influence cross-government policies that affect health and health equity. HiAP is an approach to embedding he…
Undertaking the first health impact assessment on a city development plan in Ireland
Health impact assessment (HIA), as a way to embed Health in All Policies, has been endorsed in Irish public health strategies since 2001. However, practice has varied. Given the demonstrated effectiveness of HIA in improving health considerations in projects, programmes and policies, and the relationship between the built environment and public health, an HIA on the Cork City Development Plan (2022–2028) was undertaken, with a focus on the 15-min…
Exploring the implementation of health impact assessment in Portuguese Public Health System
Health Impact Assessment (HIA) is a proactive, evidence-based approach that integrates health considerations into decision-making across sectors to prevent adverse effects and promote health equity. While global interest in HIA is growing, its implementation varies by country. In Portugal, despite existing legal frameworks and some previous capacity-building efforts, HIA is not fully institutionalized, and its practice within the Public Health Sy…

The research agenda advocates for sustained research and practice to strengthen impact and address knowledge gaps in the field. Functioning as a roadmap for both researchers and funders, it aims to contribute to a healthier and more equitable world. Recognising the valuable role of HIA in addressing global health challenges, the agenda encourages researchers to investigate, develop, and advance the field of HIA
Analysing the value, benefits and barriers to stakeholder and community participation in health impact assessments (HIAs) in Wales from 2005 to 2020
Health Impact Assessments (HIA) are undertaken to inform decision-making processes by assessing the potential health and health equity impacts of a programme, policy, or project and developing appropriate responses to mitigate harms and maximize benefits. Stakeholder and community participation is central to the impact assessment process. This research explores the experiences of stakeholders and community members who participated in HIA workshop…
Assessing public health implications of free trade agreements
In 2016, the United Kingdom voted to exit the European Union, which was surrounded by political and social uncertainty. The United Kingdom now negotiates its own trade agreements, and in March 2023, it agreed to join the Comprehensive and Progressive Trans‐Pacific Partnership Agreement (CPTPP). A health impact assessment (HIA) was undertaken in 2022–23 to predict the potential impact of the CPTPP on the health and well‐being of the Welsh Populati…
Brexit, Covid-19 and climate change
Brexit, COVID-19 and climate change pose challenges of national and global importance. They continue to have impacts across the economy, society, health, and the environment, all of which are determinants of health and well-being. Between 2018 and 2021, Public Health Wales undertook three Health Impact Assessments (HIA) in relation to the impact of the challenges in Wales. Based on these, work has been carried out to map the synergies across the …
Predicted and observed impacts of Covid-19 lockdowns
Health Impact Assessment is a key approach used internationally to identify positive or negative impacts of policies, plans and proposals on health and well-being. In 2020, HIAs were undertaken in Scotland and Wales to identify the potential health and well-being impacts of the ‘stay at home’ and physical distancing measures implemented at the start of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. There is sparse evidence evaluating whether the im…
Exploring the social value of Public Health Institutes
Introduction Making the case for investing in preventative public health by illustrating not only the health impact but the social, economic and environmental value of Public Health Institutes is imperative. This is captured by the concept of Social Value, which when measured, demonstrates the combined intersectoral value of public health. There is currently insufficient research and evidence to show the social value of Public Health Institutes a…

Development of a quality assurance review framework for health impact assessments
The use of health impact assessments (HIAs) has rapidly increased over the last two decades and has been undertaken to evaluate the health implications of many new projects across the globe. In July 2017, Wales became the first country to legislate for broad approach HIAs, i.e. it considers not only environmental health effects but the social determinants of health, well-being and inequalities. Although the introduction of statutory HIA will ensu…
