Health Impact AssessmentA health impact is a change in health risk reasonably attributable to a policy or project, and an Health Impact Assessment (HIA) is any combination of procedures or methods by which a proposed policy or program may be judged as to the effects it may have on the health of a specific population. It is a means of ensuring that the potential impacts on health are taken into account as part of the decision making process for policies, programs, and other development projects.
