Integrated public health policy (IPHP) aims at integrating health considerations into policies of other sectors. Since the limited empirical evidence available may hamper its further development, we systematically analysed empirical manifestations of IPHP, by placing policy strategies along a continuum of less-to-more policy integration, going from intersectoral action (IA) to healthy public po...

This commentary discusses the interesting and surprising findings by Hagen and colleagues, focusing on the role of the public health coordinator as a Health in All Policies (HiAP) tool. The original article finds a negative association between the employment of public health coordinators in Norwegian municipalities and consideration of a fair distribution of social and economic resources betwee...

Despite the growing number of migrants in today's globalized world, the conditions in which migrants travel, live and work can carry exceptional risks to their physical and mental well-being. These risks are often linked to restrictive immigration and employment policies, economic a...

OBJECTIVES Activation of the caspase cascade through the mitochondrial and/or death receptor pathway was investigated in the failing human myocardium, in which the mode and extent of the cascade activation are unknown. BACKGROUND In terminal heart failure, a loss of cardiomyocytes by overload-induced apoptosis is an attractive mechanism, explaining the progressive character of the disease. Ho...

Background: ‘Health in All Policies’ (HIAP) describes the pursuit of health equity. It has five main elements: treat as a human right; identify evidence ‘social determinants’ inequalities, recognise that most powers to affect are not held by departments, promote intersectoral policymaking and collaboration inside outside government, generate political will.

The Health in All Policies (HiAP) approach, alongside recommendations from the 2010 Marmot Review into health inequalities in the UK (which ...

This latest contribution by the evaluation research team at Flinders University/Southgate Institute on their multiyear study of South Australia’s Health in All Policies (HiAP) initiative is simultaneously frustrating, exemplary, and partial. It is frustrating because it does not yet reveal the extent to which the initiative achieved its stated outcomes; that awaits further papers. It is exempla...
