A health impact assessment is a tool that can help you assess the health impacts of policies, plans and projects. This webpage, developed by the World Health Organization, outlines the concept of the health impact assessment and provides tools and guidelines for determining whether to conduct one in your community.  For an example of an HIA, see the University of London’s HIA Guide for Safe Routes to School.
