DYNAMO-HIA

Title: Development of a dynamic modelling tool to assess health impact of policies (DYNAMO-HIA)

Contractor: EC (Ref.: 2006116)

Duration: 10/2007-10/2010

Principal Investigator: Prof. P. Johan Mackenbach (Erasmus University Rotterdam)

Description: The project will develop HIA-Dynamo and build an instrument to quantify the impact of policies affecting the determinants of health. The instrument, a dynamic model called Dynamo-HIA is generic (adaptable to health determinants and outcomes relevant to the policy in question), applicable throughout the EU, and will be available as software through Internet. When possible, be based on existing instruments, which harmonize with that end.
