Health in All Policies: A Guide for State and Local Governments was created by the Public Health Institute, the California Department of Public Health, and the American Public Health Association in response to growing interest in using collaborative approaches to improve population health by embedding health considerations into decision-making processes across a broad array of sectors.

The Guide draws heavily on the experiences of the California Health in All Policies Task Force and clearly lays out:

• Background information on health in all policies
• Opportunities, partners and roles
• Making collaboration work
• Decision-making steps and structures
• Engaging stakeholders
