SOPHIA

SOPHIA is an organization serving the needs of Health Impact Assessment (HIA) practitioners worldwide.

Our Start

Developed by a working group from the 2010 HIA of the Americas Workshop, SOPHIA aims to provide leadership and promote excellence in the practice of HIA.

Health for All

By promoting and practicing a thorough and systematic consideration of health in decision-making, SOPHIA will help achieve better health for all.

What do we do

As an organization, we intend: to ensure the continuing high quality of health impact assessment; to promote the field of HIA and increase its use; and to support both new and established practitioners of HIA.

So Join Us!

We would like to invite all HIA practitioners, whether experienced or novice, and those with a broader interest in HIA, to become members of SOPHIA.
