The primary findings from the key informant interviews:
General support for integrating health into all policies in Lane County Individuals and agencies have a wide range of knowledge and experience with HiAP (most rate their actual experience with HiAP as low)
Challenges to HiAP practice: resource limitations, agency silos, urban/suburban/rural differences, lack of knowledge about intervention points (where is it most possible to integrate health in various sectors and how can that be done)
Desire to move from understanding what HiAP is to implementing HiAP approaches
Need to demonstrate the value of HiAP to decision makers and leaders
The most important findings from the Health in All Policies workshop:
Many individuals and agencies in Lane County are already working to consider health in other sectors. Examples include Triple Bottom Line analysis, the City of Eugene Brownfields project, the Lane Livability Consortium's baseline assessment of plans, equity and opportunity maps and data action plan, and the Public Health Division's Community Health Improvement Plan.
Lane County agencies would like to use more HiAP tools and strategies to incorporate health into ongoing work, such as checklists and review tools, Health Impact Assessments (scalable from desktop to comprehensive), and considering health indicators in revisions of plans and policies.
