Data extraction form Title of paper: T The Effectiveness of Health Impact Assessment, Scope and limitations of supporting decision-making in Europe. Study details Population and setting Plan details and method of appraisal Outcomes assessed* Results Notes Authors Wismar, M., Blau, J., Ernst, K., Figueras, J. Eds Year: 2007 Citation: World Health Organization 2007, on behalf of the European Observatory on Health Systems and Policies. Aim of study: To map HIA use in EU & evaluate its effectiveness. Study design: Literature review & then map HIA use across EU. Review effectiveness of 17 HIA case studies (3 relevant to this Review) Three individual plans across EU – all analysed by HIA or a form of HIA: See individual case studies below Authors’ Overview: Most of 17 HIAs in the case studies proved effective in some way, but the magnitude of influence varied from “direct effectiveness” (led to modification), “general effectiveness” (no modification, but links understood & awareness raised), “opportunistic effectiveness” (HIA done in support of proposal), or “no effectiveness”. Limitations identified by author(s): Unrepresentative as only limited number of HIA studied, given the coverage. Limitations identified by review team: Case studies chosen for inclusion on effectiveness as deemed by individual country researchers (not by authors).
