Health Impact Assessment Practitioner Mini-Course in San Francisco
Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008 |
| The San Francisco Department of Public Health is hosting a four-day training on Health Impact Assessments (HIAs). HIA is an emerging policy evaluation practice used to inform decision makers of the health effects of policy, planning, program, and project choices. This course will provide current and future practitioners of HIAs experience with procedures, regulations, and tools available to implement an HIA practice. This course will review the HIA process and essential steps; explain the regulatory environment for HIA in the United States; explore case studies that reflect a range of practice types and policy contexts; facilitate group exercises in screening and scoping; provide hands-on experience with specific HIA tools and methodologies; consider obstacles and opportunities for the growth of the field; and strategize needs for field development and practice in participant jurisdictions.
