Abstrakt: Objective: To describe the main differences between conducting a rapid health impact assessment (HIA) and an intermediate HIA on foreshore development plans and their feasibility from a health service perspective.
Methods: A rapid HIA and an intermediate HIA were undertaken on two foreshore development plans.
Results: The main differences between the two HIAs were in the identification, assessment and decision-making stages of the HIA.
Conclusion: While the rapid HIA was less resource intensive than the intermediate HIA, there are several factors that affect the feasibility of conducting this type of HIA within a short time period.
