To a greater extent, policy is intimately linked to this process, a reality that is gaining traction in the public health sector.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith this understanding in mind, \u003ci\u003eAssessment of Population Health Risks of Policies\u003c\/i\u003e introduces an international set of guidelines, Risk Assessment from Policies to Impact Dimension (RAPID). In keeping with widely recognized models of public health operations, this innovative methodology factors in social, environmental, and economic health determinants to predict adverse outcomes to populations arising from large-scale policy decisions. Case studies from across the European Union illustrate both the intricacies of risk quantification and other components of assessment and possible relationships between policy and health outcomes. And contributors suggest how international health standards may be implemented despite significant cultural and political differences among nations.
