Hi all - apologies for cross posting.



I'm doing a small review of the literature for the New Zealand government
about the use of HIA in policy settings. In particular examining:

*       The reasons agencies picked up, or did not pick up policy level HIA
*       The positive and negative experiences that agencies had in
undertaking policy level HIA
*       The impact HIA has had on the policy process



Below I've listed all the documents that I've come across that look like
they'll be useful, and I'd appreciate any feedback on others you think may
be useful that I've missed out so far?



Also, because the literature is probably not the best place to answer this
question, I'm also going to supplement the literature review by sending out
a very short questionnaire (10 minutes max) to pick people's brains around
the use of policy level HIA. If you'd like to receive this please let me
know.



Many thanks

Rob Quigley





P.S. this is part of a programme of work to inform the Minister of Health in
New Zealand about need for a HIA unit to be set up to drive forward policy
level HIA. Fingers crossed.
