A Health Impact Assessment (HIA) seeks to identify the potential, and often unanticipated, effects of a policy, project or program on the health of a group of people before the decision is made to proceed. The potential health impacts that any new development or policy may have may be positive, negative, or unknown and these impacts may not be spread evenly across the population.
