HIA-CLIC:  The UCLA Health Impact Assessment Clearinghouse Learning and Information Center

This website is designed to collect and disseminate information on health impact assessment (HIA) in the United States.  In these pages you will find summaries of HIAs conducted in the U.S., reviews of common pathways examined by HIAs, HIA-related news, and information about HIA methods and tools.  A slideshow orientation to this site, its contents and how to navigate it is available here.

The goal of HIA and this website is to support more informed policy-making that contributes to improved public health and to promote insight into the many ways that public policies in all sectors influence the public's health.
