Health Impact Assessment
Health Impact Assessment (HIA) is a strategic tool within evidence-based healthcare that evaluates the potential health effects of policies, programs, or projects before they are implemented. Informed by rigorous evidence and research, HIA aims to provide decision-makers with a comprehensive understanding of how various factors may impact the health of populations.
This process involves systematically collecting and analyzing data to assess potential health risks and benefits, considering social determinants and health disparities. By integrating evidence into decision-making, HIA ensures that policies and projects are designed to promote positive health outcomes and mitigate potential harms.
In evidence-based healthcare, HIA serves as a proactive approach to shaping environments that support health and well-being, contributing to the creation of policies and projects that align with the goal of achieving optimal health for communities.
