HIA (Health Impact Assessment) tools

Health Impact Assessment (HIA) tools are methods used to evaluate how proposed projects or policies might affect people's health. They analyze potential positive and negative health outcomes, considering social, economic, and environmental factors. These tools help decision-makers understand the health implications before actions are taken, ensuring that health considerations are integrated into planning processes. By using data, evidence, and stakeholder input, HIA tools promote healthier communities and more informed decisions that support overall well-being and equity.
