-Health Impact Assessment(HIA) is a process that helps evaluate the potential health effects of a plan, project or policy before it is built or implemented. An HIA can provide recommendations to increase positive health outcomes and minimise adverse health outcomes.
- Whilst other impact assessments such as the SEA, SA and EIA do pick up on health, the definitions within them are often quite narrow and may not consider wider health determinants.
