A Practice-Grounded Approach for Evaluating Health in All Policies Initiatives in the United States.

Objective

To address the social determinants of health, an increasing number of public health practitioners are implementing Health in All Policies initiatives aimed at increasing cross-sectoral collaboration and integrating health considerations into decisions made by "nonhealth" sectors.
