Subject: Announcement: Online training for the WHO/Europe Health Economic Assessment Tool
(HEAT) for Walking and Cycling
Dear interested HEAT users
WHO/Europe's Health Economic Assessment Tool (HEAT) for walking and cycling is an
online resource to estimate the economic savings resulting from reductions in mortality as
a consequence of regular cycling and/or walking (see
www.heatwalkingcycling.org<http://www.heatwalkingcycling.org>)g>). HEAT can be used by
walking and cycling campaigners, researchers and policymakers alike. It enables users to
estimate the value to health of new infrastructure, policies or programmes. These can be
used to make the case for new investment, or as inputs to comprehensive health impact
assessments.
To help people in the use of this tool, WHO/Europe is now offering online training
sessions on the following dates:
* 30 November 2012
* 14 December 2012
* 14 January 2013
* 22 February 2013
* 15 March 2013
All sessions will start at 15:00 Central European Time, and will last approximately one
hour. During this time you will be walked through an example of HEAT, and be able to ask
questions online to experts on HEAT.
Please register by sending an e-mail to
training@heatwalkingcycling.org<mailto:training@heatwalkingcycling.org?subject=HEAT%20online%20training>
stating:
* The date of the session you wish to join
* Any details of ways that you have used HEAT
* Any specific questions you would like addressed during the training
We will then send you details of how to log on and access the training session in due
time.
Please feel free to forward this message to other colleagues or mailing lists of possibly
interested HEAT users.
