For the time being, I've translated this as 'methods of consideration' but I feel that this is too literal. Thank in advance for your assistance. |

Health Impact Assessment (HIA) is carried out at the national, regional or local level in various European countries (see: “Health Impact Assessment - generating a common understanding and developing its use across Europe” co-ordinated by the Wales government and the European Commission). Many countries in Europe also include health elements in other assessment methodologies e.g. Environmental Impact Assessment.

| Grading comment Quite right - the solution was in the text. Too tight a deadline and I "could not see the wood for the trees"! Mind you tho', even though 'methodologies' is used in most (European) EIA references, I generally agree with Writeaway that 'methods'sounds more natural in English. Thanks to everyone!

Although this addition is going to send my answer to the bottom of the pile, I want to enter it anyway:
I see my NL colleagues have stuck with methodology-is a term I tend to avoid unless it\'s really necessary. it means a system of methods so methods alone conveys the same meaning imho and sounds more \'natural\' in English.

methodologies is used in a lot of European texts because they are either written and/or edited by non-native speakers. it\'s having a corrupting influence on the language.
