This HIA addressed the health implications of the Clark County Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan. Some of the pathways and health issues explored included physical activity and food access, with special consideration to the particular health challenges that face vulnerable populations, such as low-income families.
Clark County Public Health received Active Living Research’s 2012 Translating Research to Policy Award, which recognizes exceptional use of research in making policies affecting youth physical activity levels, for this HIA.
