EVIDENCE BASED PUBLIC HEALTH POLICY AND PRACTICE Quantitative health impact assessment: current practice and future directions

Study objective: To assess what methods are used in quantitative health impact assessment (HIA), and to identify areas for future research and development. Design: HIA reports were assessed for (1) methods used to quantify effects of policy on determinants of health (exposure impact assessment) and (2) methods used to quantify health outcomes resulting from changes in exposure to determinants (...
