ASB100 - Introduction to Global Health

Health impact assessment (HIA) is a process that makes it possible to shed light on decision
making related to proposed policies, programs or projects, and on their potential effects on the health of a population. T

The Health Impact Project, a collaboration of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and The Pew Charitable Trusts, encourages local, state, and national organizations to include health considerations in policy decisions across multiple sectors, such as housing, transportation, and education. Research shows that the conditions in which people live, learn, work, and play influence their health, so the project also works to create cross-sector partnerships that include the expertise of health care and public health systems.
