Health in All Policies and HIA Jeanne Herb, Associate Director Environmental Analysis and Communications (EAC) Group

The Problem So many daily policy decisions made outside of the health

sector have significant health implications that go unrecognized because health is just not on the radar screens

of decision makers.

Social Determinants of Health

Source: Dahlgren and Whitehead, 1991

Health in all Policies

A strategy that strengthens the link

between health and other policies,

creating a supportive

environment that enables people to lead healthy lives.

Urban Planning as a Tool to Promote Health & Wellness

Think of Health Impact Assessment (HIA) as … …a tool to understand the health implications

. . .of PROPOSED policies, plans or projects on communities.

Housing Air quality

Noise Safety

Social networks Nutrition

Parks and natural space Private goods and

services Public services Transportation

Livelihood Water quality

Education Inequities

How might the proposed project, plan, policy affect:

And potentially lead to

predicted health outcomes?

HIA in Action

Step 1: Screening Determine whether an HIA will add value.

Step 2: Scoping Develop a plan for the HIA.

Step 3: Assessment Identify current and predicted health impacts.

Step 4: Recommendations Identify actions that protect health.

Step 5: Reporting Communicate findings.

Step 6: Evaluation Monitor impacts.

Health Impact Assessment is…

• Predicts anticipated health outcomes using public health and scientific evidence

• Recommends balanced, well-informed decisions

• Weigh trade-offs, direct and indirect health impacts

• Includes strong engagement of community, business, decision-making body

…a structured, but flexible, process that

HIA is NOT… • Used to make the case for why a policy, program or

project should or should not be proposed.

• An assessment to understand the impacts of a program or policy after it has been implemented.

• A community assessment tool (i.e., MAPP & CHIP).

Planning for Health: Incorporating Health Considerations

into Community Master Plans

Healthy Plan Making &

The Trenton 250 Health and Food Systems Element

Jon Carnegie, AICP/PP Jeff Wilkerson, AICP/PP James Brownlee, MPH

Planning in the United States originated with a public health purpose. Planning was rooted in the need to reduce congestion, improve public health, and support social reform in housing and sanitation. Rapid urbanization resulted in overcrowded and often poorly constructed housing, noxious industrial and manufacturing uses, new levels of human and animal waste, and intensified outbreaks of infectious diseases. The planning and public health professions were joined by a shared focus on urban reform and a common goal to prevent outbreaks of infectious disease.

Active Living: • Active transport • Recreation • Injury

Emergency Preparedness: • Climate change • Natural & Human-caused Disasters • Infectious Disease

Environmental Health: • Air Quality • Water Quality • Brownfields

Food & Nutrition: • Access to Food & Healthy Food Options • Water • Land Use

Health & Human Services: • Access to healthcare and social services • Aging

Social Cohesion & Mental Health: • Active transport • Recreation • Crime and Public Safety

Economic Conditions: • Economic development • Access to well-paying jobs • Education and training

Other: • ??? • ??? • ???

Healthy Planning Topics

Adapted from: Healthy Plan Making, APA

Key Findings from a National Web-based Survey

• 900 completed surveys from local government planners • 31 percent of responding jurisdictions have comp plans

that explicitly address health topics • Top 10 cited public health topics were: recreation,

public safety, clean water, active transportation, clean air, emergency preparedness, active living, physical activity, environmental health and aging.

• Two models for incorporating health: – Standalone, voluntary health element – Include health-related goals and policy into existing mandatory

elements (Parks & Open Space, Transportation/Circulation, Urban Design)

Source: Healthy Plan Making, APA

Strengths • Active living was strongest across

all plans

• Environmental health well covered - especially water and trees

• Emergency Preparedness, when covered, was strong and specific

• Food & Nutrition, when covered, were strong with attention to equity and access for vulnerable populations

• Health was emphasized to a greater extent when plans included a stand-alone element

Areas for Improvement • Most plans had weak coverage of:

Food & Nutrition, Emergency Preparedness, Health & Human Services, and Social Cohesion/ Mental Health

• Limited use of imagery and maps

• Limited use of public health data

• Virtually no health-related performance metrics

• Most plans lacked specific implementation strategies

Local Community Health Needs Assessment Community Health Improvement Plan

Community Health Improvement Planning • State rules – Public Health Practice Standards of

Performance for Local Boards of Health – require every local health department in New Jersey to participate in a Community Health Assessment (CHA) and use the findings of that assessment to develop a Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP).

• Assessment must be completed every 4 years. • The geographic area covered by the CHA & CHIP is the

county. • In counties with more than one local health department,

this planning is coordinated through a Governmental Public Health Partnership (GPHP).

• Engagement of the local community is required.

Community Health Assessments include both: • Quantitative data

• Secondary sources • Community surveys

• Qualitative data • Focus groups • Key informant / stakeholder interviews • Community meetings

Mobilizing for Action through Planning and Partnerships

• Community Themes and Strengths Assessment • Community Health Status Assessment • Local Public Health System Assessment • Forces of Change Assessment

NJDOH’s Office of Local Public Health website http://www.state.nj.us/health/lh/index.shtml has links to: • County CHIPs:

http://www.state.nj.us/health/lh/chip.shtml

• CHIP contact person for each county: http://www.state.nj.us/health/lh/documents/governmental_pub_hlth_partnerships.pdf

Hospital CHNAs • The federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act

(ACA) requires every non-profit hospital to do a Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA)

• Frequency – every 3 years • Covers the hospital’s service area.

• Multi-hospital health systems may do 1 CHNA for their entire coverage area

• Same types of data as county CHAs • May also include data derived from their own patient records. • May be reported by municipality and/or zip code
