Dear friends and colleagues,
We knew you wouldn’t want to miss these timely announcements about the HIA
Practitioners Workshop (formerly HIA of the Americas) and two webinars on
key components of the HIA process: community participation and
incorporating equity. We hope to build on these conversations with future
webinars on equity approaches to Heath Impact Assessment and Healthy Public
Policy research. Stay tuned for announcements about future webinar topics!
*Equity and HIA Webinar*
Please join us for a webinar we’ll be conducting on Equity and HIA on *January
27 from 1pm-2:30pm ET l 10am-11:30am PT*.
Although equity is a core value of Health Impact Assessment, practitioners
and evaluators have found that many HIAs could be improved by taking a more
intentional and thorough approach to advancing equity. To help guide HIA
practitioners, evaluators, and equity advocates, the Equity Workgroup of
the Society of Practitioners of Health Impact Assessment (SOPHIA) recently
released *Equity Metrics for Health Impact Assessment Practice*
<http://humanimpact.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=72f79fddff7ad7db65acf0591&id=183b175c15&e=09ce77b2f7>
.
The interactive webinar will introduce the theoretical underpinnings that
guide an equity-focused approach to HIA practice. Participants will learn
about measurable ways that equity can be integrated into each step of the
HIA, as described in the *Equity Metrics*, and will discuss how an
intentional focus on equity would change the approach to conducting an HIA
and those engaged in the process. Examples from HIAs that have addressed
equity concerns will also be presented.

].
The first of its kind study provides new insights on the level of community
participation in HIAs in the U.S., the impact of community participation on
the success of HIAs, and the use of HIA as a means to enhance civic agency.
Our findings - based on survey and in-depth case study analysis - send a
strong message to the HIA field that investment in higher levels of
community participation pays off in higher levels of civic agency, such as
improved individual civic skills and increased capacity for collective
action. This evaluation also found that higher levels of community
participation showed greater odds of an HIA impacting decision-making.
The evaluation intends to inform the work of HIA practitioners, and is
relevant to researchers and organizations intending to authentically engage
community members in addressing policy, program, or planning solutions.
HIP is hosting a webinar to share the evaluation’s very exciting and
insightful findings on *January 28 from 2pm-3:30pm ET **l** 11am-12:30pm PT*

and we’ll follow-up with details soon.
