Health Impact Assessment

Health Impact Assessment

Health Impact Assessment (HIA) is defined by the World Health Organization as a practical approach used to judge the potential health effects of a policy, programme or project on a population, particularly on vulnerable or disadvantaged groups. With this Collection, Archives of Public Health aims to advance the use, dissemination and methodological rigour of HIA studies. The Collection in particular welcomes studies evaluating primary prevention policies, and studies focussing on the integration of health inequities/inequalities in the HIA framework. We welcome both applied and methodological manuscripts.

Aims and scope

Archives of Public Health is a multi-speciality public health journal, dedicated to publishing sound science that has clear policy implications in the field of population health. The journal aims to better the health of populations by contributing to public health knowledge, enhancing the interaction between research, policy and practice, and stimulating population health monitoring and indicator development.
The journal particularly welcomes submissions on the following speciality topics:

  • Health information systems
  • Burden of disease methodology and applications
  • Health policy monitoring and evaluation, including health impact assessments
  • The social, structural and behavioural determinants of population health and health inequalities
  • Methodologies in population health research and knowledge translation

'Contributions to the literature' section

All papers submitted to Archives of Public Health must include a bulleted statement describing what the paper, if published, would add to the literature.

The statement should consist of three to five bullet points of no more than 100 words in total. Authors should not simply restate their findings or conclusions; the statement must contextualize the paper in the full public health literature and provide a succinct statement about what it adds. The statement will be useful in assessing priority for publication and, once having undergone peer review and acceptance with the manuscript, will be included at the beginning of the published article both in the HTML and PDF formats.

The statement should be in lay language and understandable to all readers, written for readers of moderate English literacy. The statement should be inserted immediately after the abstract within the manuscript file under the heading 'Contributions to the literature.' To view a published example, please see here
