Scottish Health and Inequalities Impact Assessment Network
The Scottish Health and Inequalities Impact Assessment Network (SHIIAN) is open to anyone working or planning to work on health impact assessments (HIA) and health inequalities impact assessments in Scotland. The network has been running since 2001, following the recommendation of the Review of the Public Health Function.
The network aims to promote a Health in All Policies approach in Scotland, and to increase the use and quality of Health Impact Assessments and improve consideration of health issues in other assessments, in order to contribute to improvements in policies and plans that will enhance population health and reduce health inequalities.
