About the Author
Monica O'Mullane PhD is a lecturer in the Department of Public Health, Trnava University, Slovakia. Her HIA research interest is focused on the role that the policy sciences can play in understanding and evaluating HIA practice. Monica conducted her doctoral study in University College Cork Ireland investigating HIA use in public policy formulation in Northern Ireland and in the Republic of Ireland, by applying a theoretical framework drawing mainly from new institutionalist theories. She has presented at HIA Forums hosted by the Institute of Public Health Ireland and co-founded and coordinated the Southern HIA Network (2008-2010). In 2010 Monica came to Slovakia funded by the Slovak Ministry of Education to investigate the feasibility of HIA in the country. This research has been conducted at a crucial time in HIA's life-span in Slovakia, as a cornerstone for the advancement of the Health in All Policies (HiAP) agenda.
Reviews
This is the first book of its kind to share global experiences of how Health Impact Assessment can be integrated into policy processes. . . The book is easy to read and can be dipped into for relevant chapters as independent pieces. . . A whole range of professionals would find this book interesting. * Rebecca Bailey-McHale, lecturer, Faculty of Health and Social Care, University of Chester; Nursing Times *
This book takes a unique approach to public policy, using as a framework for policy work the health impact assessment, which the editor believes shape policy globally... There are many public policy books, but none that use an integrated approach to public health using the HIA model. * Doody's Notes, July 2013 *
This is the first book of its kind to share global experiences of how Health Impact Assessment can be integrated into policy processes... The book is easy to read and can be dipped into for relevant chapters as independent pieces without needing to read the whole book in entirety... While this book may be viewed as a bit heavy going, its use of real life studies, health impact assessments and their application, actually make it a really quite interesting read. * Nursing Times *
