HIAs are utilized in transportation, housing, planning, and other fields. Since the built environment can impact community health outcomes, including physical activity rates, injuries, and overweight and obesity, an interdisciplinary team composed of public health, planning, transportation, and land use professionals conducted an HIA in Las Vegas, Nevada. Methods: The HIA consisted of (1) screening, (2) scoping, (3) assessment, (4) recommendations, (5) reporting, and (6) monitoring and evaluation. It examined proposed physical improvements to a 0.66 mile stretch of a major arterial roadway in the City of Las Vegas where nearby residents experience many health inequities. Collection and analysis of land use and survey data, analysis of secondary data, and literature reviews were completed to predict potential health effects produced by built environment changes. Stakeholder feedback informed each HIA step. Results: The HIA generated recommendations to improve physical activity, reduce pedestrian and bicyclist injury rates, and decrease obesity and overweight prevalence, by presenting “good,” “better,” and “best” physical infrastructure improvements. The process and resulting recommendations enhanced collaboration among health and nonhealth sectors. Conclusions: Data and analysis revealed that the proposed changes could improve walkability and bikeability and reduce pedestrian and bicyclist injury. By encouraging active transportation through bicycling and walking, the plan could, over time, contribute to reduced overweight and obesity. The HIA facilitated inter-sector cross collaboration and the integration of health into future decision-making.","PeriodicalId":93273,"journal":{"name":"Chronicles of health impact assessment","volume":"37 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135868196","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Engineer, Sara Singer, Darrell Gaskin","doi":"10.18060/27675","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.18060/27675","url":null,"abstract":"Background: Consumer technology products are changing lifestyle behaviors like how we eat, how we sleep, and how we get around, but existing research has not examined whether they are being designed to promote healthy choices. This study assesses the health impact of two products, Snapchat and Uber, through the lens of their companies’ environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: We use an exploratory multiple case design to present how health might be considered as a growth strategy for consumer technology products. Using publicly available material, we analyze the strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities for the products’ design, policy, and implementation to promote health. Results: This distinct approach to health impact assessment successfully revealed existing organizational beliefs and practices with health impact. Snapchat’s social media platform fosters social interaction but lacks responsible design features, while Uber’s mobility platform has safety and privacy measures but lacks focus on physical activities as forms of mobility. Conclusions: By using these products, positive health impact is possible: whether through social connection and information access (Snapchat), or increased mobility and physical activity (Uber). This case study highlights the untapped potential of intentionally designing products to influence health behaviors and promote health, especially through new uses of existing features. Leveraging external partnerships and subject matter experts will be crucial for success, but companies that choose to do so and embrace a health-positive mindset will lay a foundation for a replicable business strategy for those too reticent to lead in this nascent field.","PeriodicalId":93273,"journal":{"name":"Chronicles of health impact assessment","volume":"3 17","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135819198","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Certain areas of the city of Indianapolis are more prone to the negative effects that lack of tree coverage can cause. This assessment explored the short term and potential long-term impacts of the efforts to increase the tree canopy coverage in vulnerable areas of Indianapolis. This effort was a collaboration of faculty members from the Indiana University Richard M. Fairbanks School of Public Health, Indianapolis Department of Public Works, Keep Indianapolis Beautiful, and the Indianapolis Office of Sustainability. \u0000Methods: Our team used the standard seven-step Health Impact Assessment (HIA) process to make the recommendations provided. Using direct observation of the neighborhood, secondary data collection, literature review, and a key stakeholder interview, we examined key dimensions of health including environmental, physical, and personal health outcomes resulting from increased tree canopy coverage within census tract 3505 of Marion County, Indiana. \u0000Results: Increasing the percentage of tree canopy coverage in census tract 3505 – Crown Hill has significant positive health impacts with minimal negative outcomes. Such impacts may be, but are not subject to, lower temperatures, reduced cases of respiratory and cardiac infections/illnesses, promoting animal life, increasing neighborhood property values and filtering pollutants that resultfrom human production activity. \u0000Conclusions: Further implementation of the Thrive Indianapolis project has broad positive implications for the community members living in this area. While few negative implications were found, we make recommendations to mitigate these effects while attempting to supplement the current project plan with a focus on the effects to human health.","PeriodicalId":93273,"journal":{"name":"Chronicles of health impact assessment","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47773100","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
