Abstract
The objective of this study is to describe the evaluation of the impact of non-health policies in health in the city of Barcelona, describing the main methodologies used and the main outcomes measured, as well as sharing some of the lessons learned during these years.
We reviewed the health evaluation of urban policies carried out by the Public Health Agency of Barcelona during the last 20 years, excluding those promoted by the health sector. For each evaluation we have described the evaluative design, the methodology used to collect data and the main outcomes measured.
More than 20 non-health policies have been evaluated in terms of health in the city of Barcelona. In most cases a quasi-experimental design has been used, having measured outcomes related to health and health-determinants, using quantitative methodology in all cases, combined with qualitative methodology in some evaluations.
期刊介绍:
Health Policy is intended to be a vehicle for the exploration and discussion of health policy and health system issues and is aimed in particular at enhancing communication between health policy and system researchers, legislators, decision-makers and professionals concerned with developing, implementing, and analysing health policy, health systems and health care reforms, primarily in high-income countries outside the U.S.A.
