Partnering to Reduce Environmental Hazards Through a Community-Based "Healthy Home Museum":Education for Action.

Home environmental hazards can pose health threats, particularly to low-income children living in substandard housing.

Helping diverse local groups understand the sources, health impacts, and solutions to home hazards is a critical first step toward action.

Health impact assessment of urban waterway decisions.

Health impact assessments (HIA) promote the consideration of health in a wide range of public decisions. Although each HIA is different, common pathways, evidence bases, and strategies for community engagement tend to emerge in certain sectors, such as urban redevelopment, natural resource extraction, or transportation planning. To date, a limited number of HIAs have been conducted on decisions affecting water resources and waterfronts.
