| 701-1704-01L | Health Impact Assessment: Concepts and Case Studies | W | 3 credits | 2V | M. Winkler, C. Guéladio, M. Röösli, J. M. Utzinger | |
| Abstract | This course introduces the concept of health impact assessment (HIA) and discusses a suite of case studies in different contexts across the globe. HIA pursues an inter- and multidisciplinary approach, employs qualitative and quantitative methods with the overarching goal to support sustainable decision-making. | |||||
| 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 projects, programmes and policies 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 projects, programmes and policies. 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 wastewater management) and private sector (e.g. extractive industries and renewable energies) all over the world. | |||||
| Lecture notes | Handouts will be distributed. | |||||
