Health Impact Assessment Steps

The project followed the accepted environmental health risk assessment principles and steps outlined below.

  1. Screening – making a decision about whether a HIA is required.

  2. Scoping – determining what areas the HIA will cover and establishing study parameters such as timeframe, resources etc.

  3. Information collection – gathering information from agreed sources (such as community statistics, surveys, field investigations) to enable evaluation of health impacts.

  4. Health impact evaluation – an assessment of the positive and negative health impacts of the condition under investigation.

  5. Strategy identification – development of sustainable strategies to improve or eliminate negative health impacts and enhance positive impacts.

  6. Health impact statement – a summary of the potential negative and positive impacts
    with recommendations to address the outcomes.
