Integrating a quantitative risk appraisal in a health impact assessment: analysis of the novel smoke-free policy in Hungary
Original language description
BACKGROUND: Although the quantification of health outcomes in a health impact assessment (HIA) is scarce in practice, it is preferred by policymakers, as it assists various aspects of the decision-making process. This article provides an example of integrating a quantitative risk appraisal in an HIA performed for the recently adopted Hungarian anti-smoking policy which introduced a smoking ban in closed public places, workplaces and public transport vehicles, and is one of the most effective measures todecrease smoking-related ill health. METHODS: A comprehensive, prospective HIA was conducted to map the full impact chain of the proposal. Causal pathways were prioritized in a transparent process with special attention given to those pathways for whichmeasures of disease burden could be calculated for the baseline and predicted future scenarios. RESULTS: The proposal was found to decrease the prevalence of active and passive smoking and result in a considerably positive effect on seve
