Framework for Participatory Quantitative Health Impact Assessment in Low- and Middle-Income Countries.

ABSTRACT: Conducting health impact assessments (HIAs) is a growing practice in various organizations and countries, yet scholarly interest in HIAs has primarily focused on the synergies between exposure and health outcomes. This limits our understanding of what factors influence HIAs and the uptake of their outcomes. This paper presents a framework for conducting participatory quantitative HIA (PQHIA) in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), including integrating the outcomes back into society after an HIA is conducted. The study responds to the question: what are the different components of a participatory quantitative model that can influence HIA implementation in LMICs? To build the framework, we used a case study from a PQHIA fieldwork model developed in Port Louis (Mauritius). To explore th
