About this dataset:
We're currently migrating this dataset. To interact with these data, visit our Legacy Site.
As defined in 2011 by the National Research Council of the National Academies, an “HIA [health impact assessment] is a systematic process that uses an array of data sources and analytic methods and considers input from stakeholders to determine the potential effects of a proposed policy, plan, program, or project on the health of a population and the distribution of those effects within the population. HIA provides recommendations on monitoring and managing those effects.
This is a longitudinal dataset displaying all HIA bills introduced between January 1, 2012 and December 31, 2016. As such, no HIA bills introduced prior to January 1, 2012 are included.
