Health Impact Assessments ? Their Role in Transportation Planning
Wednesday, May 4, 2016, 11:00 a.m. EDT
Description
Health Impact Assessments (HIAs) are a means of assessing the health
impacts of policies, plans, and projects in various economic sectors using
quantitative, qualitative, and participatory methods. Transportation
systems contribute to traffic injuries, air pollution, diseases resulting
from physical inactivity, and noise. However, these risks can be reduced by
"healthy transport policies" that promote walking and cycling. In April,
2015, the Transportation Research Board (TRB) and American College of
Sports Medicine (ACSM) held a joint conference on ?Moving Active
Transportation to Higher Ground" conference held in Washington, DC. This
webinar is a direct result of the conference, and features some of the key
speakers.
Panelists:
? Geoffrey Whittfield, Ph.D., MEd, Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention
? Sonja Kahlmeier, Ph.D., MSc, ETH Environ. Sc. (University of Zurich,
Switzerland)
? James Woodcock, Medical Research Council Epidemiology Unit, University of
Cambridge
Moderator: David Bassett, Jr.
