# A combination of procedures, methods and tools that systematically judges the potential, and sometimes unintended, effects of a policy, plan, programme or project on the health of a population and the distribution of those effects within the population. HIA identifies appropriate actions to manage those effects (IAIA/WHO 2006, accessed January 2008).<br />
# The above definition is an update of the 1999 WHO definition: "combination of procedures, methods and tools by which a policy, programme or project may be judged as to its potential effects on the health of a population, and the distribution of those effects within the population (WHO 1999).<br />

==Explanation==<br />
Attributes of HIA:<br />
* HIA is a predictive planning tool to integrate health considerations into the planning and implementation of development.<br />
* As a consequence, the timing of the components making up an HIA is critical in the context of the policy formulation process or the project cycle.<br />
* A complete HIA consists of an assessment with conclusions and recommendations, and a public health management plan for the implementation of health safeguards, mitigating measures and health promotion.<br />
* HIA is a participatory activity requiring the involvement of all stakeholders, including affected local communities.<br />
* HIA is intersectoral by nature and requires effective collaboration between all relevant sectors.<br />
<br />
Rationale for HIA:<br />
* HIA is sound economics (no transfer of hidden costs of development to the health sector).<br />
* HIA helps identify and protect vulnerable groups (the equity principle).<br />
* HIA is about risks and opportunities/HIA translates into health protection and health promotion).<br />
* HIA fits in a larger frame of good governance and best planning practice (WHO 2009).<br />
