Description:Due to the inherent interdisciplinary nature of public health, health departments, government agencies, organizations, and partners often collaborate on programmatic and policy decisions. However, it is uncommon to have a standard practice of integrating health into the decision-making process of non-health agencies or communicating about the health impacts, unintended or not, of a particular policy. Health in All Policies (HiAP) is a framework to help public health practitioners and decisionmakers work to ensure policies and programs benefit health outcomes, or at a minimum have a neutral impact.
This guide is designed to support public health practitioners and their partners as they utilize HiAP to address the various determinants of health at all stages of the decision-making process. It is a resource to encourage a rapid understanding and uptake of HiAP strategies. Some of the activities mentioned may be already occurring in health departments, and HiAP is wellpositioned to ensure the continuation, and the formalization of, these activities. Those engaging with HiAP can use the content below and accompanying resources as they apply to specific jurisdictions.
