- Highlights: HIA acts in synergy with other policies or plans at the local level to foster actions favorable to health. HIA advances the creation of a favorable built environment conducive to health. HIA implementation cost is a hindrance for small cities operating with limited resources. HIA core principles should be incorporated into strategic urban development plans to insure its sustainability. HIA excluding equity considerations may increase the risks of increasing health inequalities. Abstract: The health impact assessment (HIA) is a tool used to estimate the potential impact on health of non-health-related proposals prior to implementation. While it is increasingly used in Quebec, Canada, studies have not analyzed its medium-term impacts and potential long-term impacts. We conducted a contribution analysis using in-depth interviews with key stakeholders, as well as documents, observation and images related to HIA in order to analyze its impacts on the revitalization of road infrastructure, parks and green spaces, and residential housing. Our analysis not only reflects on the decision-making process through the adoption and implementation of HIA recommendations, but also on the link between actions implemented in the field and health outcomes.

Résumé: L'évaluation d'impact sur la santé (ÉIS) estime l'impact potentiel sur la santé des actions hors du champ de la santé avant leur implantation. Bien qu'elle soit de plus en plus utilisée au Canada, en particulier au Québec, les études n'ont pas analysé ses impacts intermédiaires et ses effets potentiels à long-terme. Nous avons appliqué l'analyse de contribution à l'aide d'entretiens approfondis avec les principales parties prenantes, les documents, l'observation et les images liées à l'ÉIS pour analyser ses effets sur la revitalisation des infrastructures routières, des parcs et espaces verts et des logements résidentiels. L'analyse des effets de l'évaluation d'impact sur la santé porte davantage sur le processus décisionnel en rapport à l'adoption et l'implantation des recommandations issues de l'ÉIS, mais aussi sur le lien entre les actions mises en œuvre sur le terrain et les résultats en matière de santé. … (more)
