Excerpt
Introduction Health impact assessment (HIA) played a key role in promoting the inclusion of health considerations as part of transport decisions in Europe; key elements of HIA were used and contributed to different stages of policy-making. This paper discusses the added value of HIA analyses and procedures and the conditions for using HIA as a means of integrating health considerations into the development of sectoral policies. Transport policy development in Europe Work on the environmental impacts and external costs of transport increased in Europe in the mid-1990s, when health impacts had often been mentioned in the context of transport but were rarely quantified or explored in more detail, except those associated with air pollution and traffic injuries. A turning point was represented by research that began to highlight the importance of a wider range of health impacts of transport policy decisions (1). This theme was picked up at an international meeting in London, addressed to a broader academic audience (2). It was also part of a European assessment prepared as background to the Second Ministerial Conference on Environment and Health, held in Helsinki, Finland, in 1994 (3).
