一项新的公共政策倡议被提出，或者是一个大规模的建设项目。它对人口健康的潜在影响是什么？是否存在需要解决的不利影响、需要促进的健康益处，或者两者兼而有之？健康影响评估(HIA)是一种跨学科的方法来回答这些和其他复杂的问题，因此方案、项目或政策可以相应地进行调整。美国的健康影响评估分析了HIA的目标、工具和方法，以及对建立最佳实践至关重要的能力。它列出了HIA区别于环境评估和类似评估的核心原则，并用美国和国外的案例加以充实。HIA进程的每个步骤的细节都考虑到了后续行动，使读者不仅能够深入了解收集和评估数据，而且还能有效地将调查结果传达给决策者和利益攸关方。这本书的专家报道包括：HIA对政策制定的重要性。介绍公共卫生、社区规划和健康评估。HIA核心概念概述，并附有说明性实例。从筛选到评估进行HIA的循序渐进指南。塑造HIA工具和程序的新兴技术。附录介绍了评估部分的样本和其他资源。HIA在未来的健康相关政策中具有越来越重要的地位，使美国的健康影响评估成为公共卫生、公共政策、城市规划和社区规划领域的学生和从业者的宝贵手册和关键理念。本书描绘了HIA在美国的发展历程，并为开展HIA和利用其结果提供了宝贵的指导。我强烈推荐。“霍华德·弗兰金，医学博士，博士，华盛顿大学公共卫生学院院长：这本由该领域三位国际公认的领导者撰写的新书为使用这一工具识别交通、住房、能源和其他部门的决策给健康带来的重要但往往未被认识到的机会和风险提供了实用指南。罗伯特·伍德·约翰逊基金会和皮尤慈善信托基金合作的健康影响项目主任Aaron Wernham说，这本书对健康影响评估领域做出了重要贡献，是从业者、研究人员和学生的伟大资源……它帮助读者不仅理解HIA，而且还能做到这一点。Ben Harris-Roxas，新南威尔士大学初级卫生保健和公平中心联合讲师；国际影响评估协会卫生科联席主席；Harris-Roxas Health顾问。帮助发现提案中卫生不平等的隐藏原因，并在提案实施之前确定潜在的解决方案。安吉拉·格洛弗·布莱克韦尔，PolicyLink创始人兼首席执行官
A new public policy initiative is proposed, or a large-scale construction project. What is its potential impact on the health of the population? Are there adverse effects to address, health benefits to be promoted, some combination of both? A Health Impact Assessment (HIA) is a cross-disciplinary means of answering these and other complex questions, so programs, projects, or policies can be adjusted accordingly. Health Impact Assessment in the United States analyzes the goals, tools, and methods of HIA, and the competencies that are central to establishing best practices. It sets out the core principles that differentiate HIA from environmental and similar assessments, fleshing them out with case examples from the US and abroad. Details of each step of the HIA process take follow-through into account, giving readers insights into not only collecting and evaluating data, but also communicating findings effectively to decision-makers and stakeholders. The book's expert coverage includes: The importance of HIA to policy development. Introduction to public health, community planning, and health assessment. Overview of the core concepts of HIA, with illustrative examples. Step-by-step guide to conducting an HIA, from screening to evaluation. Emerging technologies shaping HIA tools and procedures. Appendices featuring sample assessment sections and other resources. The HIA has an increasingly vital place in the future of health-related policy, making Health Impact Assessment in the United States a valued manual and critical ideabook for students and practitioners in public health, public policy, urban planning, and community planning.“This book charts the growth of HIA in the United States, and provides invaluable guidance on conducting HIAs and utilizing their results. Very highly recommended.” Howard Frumkin, MD, DrPH, Dean, University of Washington School of Public Health “This new book by three internationally recognized leaders in the field provides a practical guide to using this tool to identify important but often unrecognized opportunities and risks for health created by decisions in transportation, housing, energy, and other sectors.” Aaron Wernham, Director of the Health Impact Project, a collaboration of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and The Pew Charitable Trusts.“This book makes an important contribution to the health impact assessment field and is a great resource for practitioners, researchers and students... it helps the reader to not only understand HIA but to do it.” Ben Harris-Roxas, Conjoint Lecturer, Centre for Primary Health Care and Equity, University of New South Wales; Health Section Co‐Chair, International Association for Impact Assessment; Consultant, Harris‐Roxas Health.“Health Impact Assessment in the United States is an important resource... helping to uncover hidden causes of health inequities in proposals and identifying potential solutions before the proposals are implemented.” Angela Glover Blackwell, Founder and CEO, PolicyLink
