A Practice-Grounded Approach for Evaluating Health in All PoliciesInitiatives in the United States

摘要

ObjectiveIn order to address the social determinants of health, an increasing number of public health practitioners are implementing Health in All Policies initiatives aimed at increasing cross-sector collaboration and integrating health considerations into decisions made by “non-health” sectors. Despite the growth in practice nationally and internationally, evaluation of Health in All Policies is a relatively new field. In order to help inform evaluation of Health in All Policies initiatives in the United States, this study sought to develop a practice-grounded approach, including a logic model and a set of potential indicators, which could be used to describe and assess Health in All Policies activities, outputs, and outcomes.
