Evidence of changes to decision-making and implementation, but these were hard to attribute solely to the HEIAs

All three HEIAs identified potential health inequity impacts that had not been previously identified in planning
![Page 13: Impact Evaluation of Three Health Equity Impact Assessments](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081518/547b1ee9b4af9f64248b4970/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
But it was hard for people to recognise that their understanding of potential health equity impacts had changed
![Page 14: Impact Evaluation of Three Health Equity Impact Assessments](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081518/547b1ee9b4af9f64248b4970/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
"I’m not convinced that [the HEIA] made people do things differently, because I think that they probably, should’ve, would’ve, hopefully would’ve, done those things anyway."
![Page 15: Impact Evaluation of Three Health Equity Impact Assessments](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081518/547b1ee9b4af9f64248b4970/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The things we don’t know we didn’t know?

Lack of consensus about the purpose of doing of doing the HEIAs
![Page 17: Impact Evaluation of Three Health Equity Impact Assessments](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081518/547b1ee9b4af9f64248b4970/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
"We didn’t have a shared understanding of why we were undertaking it. Our purposes were probably different from [the other stakeholders’] purposes, and maybe that’s where they don’t work, but if you have two differing purposes, unless you can fully appreciate what those two different purposes are, maybe it doesn’t work out as well as it could."
