The Health Impact Assessment (hereinafter referred to as HIA) is an effective method for predicting potential health impacts from decisions. Little is known about the implementation of the HIA in the Republic of Kazakhstan (further, RK). In addition, the Russian language literature has not yet been reviewed in terms of HIA-related knowledge. By conducting a literature review of enabling factors, including Russian language literature, on the implementation of the HIA and studying governance systems in RK, we aim to suggest an implementation process to implement the HIA in RK. After careful analysis of the governance system, we suggest set up of a HIA support unit under the National Scientific Center for Health Development and discuss the possible benefits. The proposed center should guide the implementation of the HIA in RK.

Preventing common mental health problems by increasing neighbourhood socioeconomic status: a mental health impact assessment in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
Eur J Public Health

Department of Public Health, Erasmus MC, University Medical Center Rotterdam, Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
Neighbourhood socioeconomic status (NSES) has been identified as a determinant of mental health. In this study, we aimed to quantify how many cases of common mental health problems could be prevented by increasing NSES in the most socioeconomically deprived neighbourhoods in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, and how the increases in NSES would affect mental health inequalities. We used publicly available data for conducting a quantitative Health Impact Assessment (HIA) of two counterfactual policy scenarios.

Health impact assessment (HIA) is a prospective approach that aims to identify the potential consequences of policies or projects on health in order to propose measures to make them healthier. Initiated in the late nineties, the approach emerged over ten years ago in France. However, the evaluation of HIA effectiveness remains seldomly practised and its theoretical background should be deepened.

Article Synopsis
- - The French Military Health Service established the Advanced Course for Deployment Surgery (ACDS) in 2008 to improve surgeons' skills in handling Non-Compressible Torso Hemorrhage (NCTH), a leading cause of preventable death in combat scenarios.
- - A study comparing surgical practices before and after ACDS showed that post-course patients had more severe injuries and demonstrated improved techniques, such as increased use of temporary abdominal packing and reduced re-operations for bleeding.
- - Overall, the ACDS effectively enhanced the readiness and performance of military surgeons, leading to better management of trauma cases, particularly through improved imaging and surgical techniques.
