Assignment task:
Health Impact Assessment typically considers the health consequences of proposed projects or policies that sit outside the health sector.
A large train line expansion project to increase public transport connections between Perth and surrounding towns in Western Australia
Firstly, provide evidence to demonstrate how this type of project may affect the health of the community in both positive and negative ways, across a range of health determinants.
Then select two of the health impacts (one positive and one negative) that are likely to have the most significant impact and discuss how the health outcomes experienced by different groups in the community may be affected by existing health inequities.
