Health Impact Assessment (HIA) identifies and evaluates the effects of potential or existing policies, plans, programs, and project on the public's health. This may include an analysis of the impact on air quality, water quality, food access, mental health and wellbeing, traffic injuries, and physical health. From awareness-raising rapid assessment methods to more data-intensive approaches, HIA comes in a variety of forms.
Participants will learn about the history of the health impact assessment, including their intended function and relationship to other impact assessments, to the different methods of conducting a HIA. Example cases will be discussed to illustrate the use of various approaches.
