Health in All Policies Evaluation Tool for State and Local Health Departments
July 25, 2024
State and local health departments are investing in Health in All Policies (HiAP) as a strategy to incorporate health equity into local decision-making processes. HiAP encourages engaging partners from diverse backgrounds—such as transportation, housing, education, and environment, and other sectors—to address the root causes of health disparities that are deeply intertwined with social, economic, and environmental factors.
Many health departments are seeking to evaluate the benefits of investing in integrating HiAP into their public health practice. To support the development of robust evaluations, ASTHO—in partnership with the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) and with funding provided by CDC's National Center for Environmental Health—developed this HiAP Evaluation Tool for local and state health department to provide structure and guidance for evaluating HiAP initiatives.
