Health Impact Assessment Sample Clauses

Health Impact Assessment. An 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 minimize adverse health outcomes. It is not required by law and does not necessarily play a role in the decision to issue permits for a development project. An HIA is a public health tool that uses available technical and scientific information to help communities understand how plans, projects, and policies affect their health. An HIA can also make recommendations about how to maximize the likely health benefits and minimize the potential xxxxx of a given project, plan, or policy. The HIA being prepared for the PacWest Silicon project will focus on neighborhoods near the project, as well as community facilities along the rail line in Pend Oreille County.

The HIA being prepared for the MBTL project will focus on neighborhoods near the MBTL project, as well as community facilities along the BNSF rail line in Cowlitz County and other areas deemed necessary by the Steering Committee. Steering Committee: The HIA Steering Committee is a decision-making body made up of members of the local community who will identify what aspects of health should be addressed in the HIA. The Steering Committee will review and approve HIA documents before public release. Health Impact Assessment Process: The HIA process consists of six steps: (1) screening, (2) scoping, (3) assessment,

Health Impact Assessment. The goal of health impact assessment (HIA) is similar to the goal of SEIA: to minimize negative effects, maximize positive effects and reduce inequalities. A population health approach establishes indicators related to mental and social well-being, quality of life, income, employment and working conditions, education and other factors known to influence health. HIA predicts, either qualitatively or quantitatively, how the proposed project will influence these health indicators, and develops mitigation measures to avoid or manage impacts.

Health Impact Assessment. Traditionally modelling tools have addressed air quality assessment issues including dispersion and chemistry but have not extended their capability by incorporating exposure or other health indicators. However, Health Impact Assessment (HIA) should be part of integrated assessment tools (Xxxxxx and Friedrichet al., 2005), as it usually involves a combination of procedures, methods and tools by which a policy or suggested air quality mitigation measure can be judged as to its potential effects on the health of a population. Quantification of health effects in HIA is particularly important (Xxxx, 2006, Xxxxxx et al., 2001), as knowing the size of an effect (Xxxx et al., 2002) helps decision makers to distinguish between the details and the main issues that need to be addressed and facilitates decision making by clarifying the trade offs that may be entailed. Secondly, adding up all positive and negative health effects into a net effect using appropriate modelling methods permits the use of economic instruments such as cost effectiveness analysis (Xxxxx et al., 2011), which further aids decision-making. The exposure-response function (which quantifies the change in the population health due to a given exposure) is identified to be the main source of uncertainty in an integrated assessment (Tainio, 2009). The following research needs in relation with the exposure assessment were considered to be important for HIA: - The need to further explore the "complete individual exposure to air pollution" is strongly felt. With "complete” meaning as well indoor as outdoor air pollution and a period of 24h/24h. With "individual", monitoring the air quality at the level of the person itself, using portable-and-easy to wear monitors is meant. These two factors will eventually result in a more complete view on the individual exposure to pollutants. If this could be combined with human biomonitoring, i.e. measuring the concentration of a certain pollutant or one of its by-products in the human body, this would be a real added value to our current knowledge concerning the impact of air pollution on human health. - The distance to relevant traffic lines is known to have a crucial effect on population exposure and health effects and should be further investigated. - The dynamic dimension of individual exposure and its integration of successive environments such as indoor and outdoor, should be further investigated in order to come to a better understanding of the relationship b...

Health Impact Assessment. The corridor study shall guide infrastructure improvements along the US 67 corridor, impacting not only how people access destinations but also how they interact with others in the physical space. These and other factors influenced by the built environment have significant potential impacts on public health. The ENGINEER shall conduct a Health Impact Assessment (HIA) for the planned improvements to the corridor. The assessment effort shall:  Set the parameters and define a maximum of five community health indicators used to perform the HIA;  Identify the most appropriate research methodologies (including gathering community input) that shall be used; and  Establish which data shall be collected. This may include Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) analysis, access to safe and active transportation options, and consideration of equity impacts on low-income and disadvantaged communities The HIA shall present an assessment of the community health indicators in a community profile, showing how proposed corridor changes may affect the community. The ENGINEER shall use GIS data analysis, as well as qualitative methods, to analyze the project area. The HIA shall culminate in recommendations that may be incorporated into the project that shall maximize health benefits and minimize adverse effects. These recommendations shall be specific to US 67 and may include considerations for land DocuSign Envelope ID: 9E4E3B84-8519-409C-AEF8-0383FB0D2E89 use, urban design and infrastructure, including signage, access points, and public transportation routes and schedules. A final report shall summarize the HIA process, provide a review of community input, describe the recommendations resulting from the health impact analysis and state how these recommendations shall be incorporated into the preferred alternative.
