Health Impact Assessment

Health Impact Assessment

Health Impact Assessment (HIA) is a systematic process that evaluates the potential health effects of a policy, program, or project before it is implemented. The goal of HIA is to promote the integration of health considerations into decision-making across various sectors, such as urban planning, transportation, and environmental policy. The HIA process involves several key steps. Initially, a scoping phase identifies the potential health determinants affected by the proposed initiative. Subsequently, a comprehensive assessment assesses the positive and negative health impacts, considering social, economic, and environmental factors. Stakeholder engagement is a crucial aspect, as it ensures the inclusion of diverse perspectives and local knowledge.

HIA contributes to informed decision-making by providing evidence-based recommendations to enhance positive health outcomes and mitigate potential risks. It emphasizes the importance of health equity, recognizing that certain populations may be disproportionately affected by policies or projects. By integrating HIA into decision-making processes, communities can better understand the broader implications of proposed actions on public health. This proactive approach helps prevent negative health consequences and fosters the development of policies that promote well-being. HIA is particularly valuable in addressing the complex interplay between various determinants of health and is increasingly recognized as an essential tool for creating healthier, more sustainable environments.
