Comments and critiques

.....

A place to post concurrent or retrospective critical comments and observations about the health impacts that have actually occurred, or reported to have occurred, as a result of projects, programmes, and policies (PPP) that received an HIA. We encourage anonymous postings by insiders and whistle blowers, and comments (see page discussion) on those postings.

Click - Start a Free Account - or, go to the bottom of the left hand menu, to create your wiki account, then login and - edit page - to write down your own comments and observations about HIA practice.

The previous format of this page did not work so I propose a different format. We invite you to post any papers or observations, anonymous or otherwise, that could assist our critique.

See http://www.birleyhia.co.uk/fault%20analysis.pdf for a paper entitled "A fault analysis for health impact assessment: procurement, competence, expectations, and jurisdictions". This paper summarises a series of faults that were observed on 5 international projects.

Welcome! This wiki is about health impact assessment (HIA). HIA is the systematic prediction, prioritisation and management of the likely positive and negative health and wellbeing impacts of new plans and projects.

This wiki is for anyone interested in population and neighbourhood health and wellbeing; healthy urban planning and development; and the practice and quality assurance of HIA. It is particularly useful for residents concerned about a proposed plan or development; HIA practitioners; public and environmental health professionals; designers, planners, developers and consultants; and policy and decision-makers.

The aim of this wiki website is to enable you to:

i) Easily access key guides, tool, reports and other resources on HIA in a convenient, relevant and informative way.

ii) Discuss health, wellbeing and health impact assessment in an informal and insightful way.

iii) Contribute and be a member of this wiki by registering yourself and adding new documents and new links, repairing broken links and creating new themes and pages. The beauty of wiki is that anyone and everyone can get involved in updating and adding to the knowledge and information on this site.

Wikis are websites that anyone can help to change, improve and update (without having any programming skills). So browse the site, search the resources, register yourself and help to build a living, dynamic, collaborative and community owned resource that enhances and develops HIA theory and practice internationally.

Alternatively if you have any ideas or suggestions to improve this site then email me at drsalimvohra (at) gmail (dot) org.
