It highlights the enablers and barriers and the 4 key stages of HIA institutionalisation, namely: advocacy, adoption, implementation and finally institutionalisation.&nbsp; These are mapped against a practical \u2018wall of institutionalisation\u2019 which contains the critical activities, factors and facilitators needed for institutionalising HIA. Other nation states and organisations can use these to measure themselves against to identify how mature they are (or not) in the path to institutionalisation and critical factors they presently have or need to strive for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To read more on the paper, click on the link below: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1080\/14615517.2026.2658912\">Institutionalisation of health impact assessment.
