I think we don't specifically think about the public as a consituency except when we engage local communities when doing a HIA. While there is talk about educating policymakers/policticians and non-health professionals there is little or no focus on citizens/general public.<br /><br />I like your point about the process of discussion and debate beings as important as the final findings particular for those of us who have been doing and/or reading about HIA for a while.Salim Vohrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04339376676304561096noreply@blogger.com
