Documents from Quebec
Documentation on the orientation and the development of health impact assessment in Quebec, as well as on the application of section 54 of the Public Health Act:
Ministère de la santé et des Services sociaux du Québec (MSSS)
In order to apply section 54, the MSSS developed a strategy that involves implementing, within the entire government structure, a mechanism for assessing impact on health. To support the application of this mechanism, the MSSS developed methodological tools including a guide (2006) for those responsible for developing and analyzing government bills and regulations, in various government sectors:
It has also developped a tool that explains the determinants of health, in order to improve understanding of the potential impacts of ministerial and organisational interventions on the health and well-being of the population.

Groupe d'étude sur les politiques publiques et la santé (GÉPPS)
Part of the MSSS’s Programme de recherche sur les politiques publiques favorables à la santé et au bien-être, this group is interested in the process involved in public policy formulation, from emergence to evaluation. Public policy is analyzed from the perspective of its impact on health. Several of their works and communications are available on their website, such as:
- In the Fall of 2006, eight case studies were conducted in the aim of creating portraits of the decisional processes involved in the formulation and adoption of healthy public policy. These case studies were done in partnership with four ministries.
