What is Health in All Policies?
Health in All Policies (HiAP) integrates health considerations into the decision-making processes across different sectors. It recognizes that health outcomes are influenced by social, economic, and environmental determinants. HiAP promotes collaboration among sectors to improve population health and well-being. The key principles include intersectoral collaboration, health equity, and evidence-based decision-making. HiAP can lead to more effective policies, prevent chronic diseases, and create supportive environments for health. This session will focus on community frameworks and best practices. If you missed the previous sessions, you can view them on demand here.
Why Should Libraries Implement a HiAP Approach?
Libraries should adopt a Health in All Policies approach to improve community health by collaborating with other sectors and advocating for policies - in their libraries and in their communities - that prioritize health. This approach can address health disparities and increase community engagement while leveraging resources from different sectors. It aligns with the evolving role of libraries as community anchors.
