HIA is most valuable when it provides policy-makers and stakeholders
with compelling, actionable information about potentially un- or
under-recognized health impacts of proposed policies and projects.
While HIAs can provide useful information about proposed public
health policies, it is in other sectors that HIA is most likely
to provide new information. Although advancing public health goals
may not be the primary rationale for proposed transportation projects,
education reform and economic policies, these and other actions
in other sectors can have significant public health impacts. Each
of the pages in this section provides a short synopsis of how policies
and projects in a given sector are likely to affect the public’s
health. Links are provided to more thorough reviews and to organizations
specializing in the analysis of policies and projects in each sector.
