Subject: Re: [H+T--Friends] Health Impact Assessment 101: An Introduction to the Practice (free webinar)
Hi Eloisa and others,
I am curious whether this is a webinar that is designed only for public health professionals or whether it is also for people in other fields who might use HIAs.
Does anyone know?
Thanks,
Sheryl
