| Abstract | This course introduces the concept of health impact assessment (HIA) and discusses a suite of case studies in industrialised and developing countries.

| Learning objective | After successful completion of the course, students should be able to: o critically reflect on the concept of HIA and the different steps from screening to implementation and monitoring; and o apply specific tools and methodologies for HIA of policies, programmes and projects in different social, ecological and epidemiological settings. | ||||
| Content | The course will present a broad set of tools and methods for the systematic and evidence-based judgment of potential health effects related to policies, programmes and projects. Methodological features will be introduced and applied to a variety of case studies in the public sector (e.g. traffic-related air pollution, passive smoking and waste water management) and private sector (e.g. water resource developments and extractive industries) all over the world. | ||||
