the United Kingdom's HIA guidance

The UK's Health Impact Assessment (HIA) guidance provides a structured process for evaluating how proposed policies, projects, or developments might affect public health. It helps decision-makers identify potential health benefits or risks early, so they can incorporate health into planning and ensure positive outcomes for communities. The guidance emphasizes stakeholder involvement, evidence gathering, and balanced analysis to support informed, health-conscious decisions that promote well-being and reduce health inequalities.
