The Colorado School of Public Health, Children’s Hospital Colorado, and the University of Colorado’s Farley Health Policy Center are collaborating to conduct an HIA on a proposed grant program using tobacco tax funds. One of the grants would target behavioral health interventions and services among Coloradans from birth through age 25. The HIA will assess a suggested three-tiered system of prevention and screening, early intervention, and individualized services and make recommendations for grant program spending to maximize child behavioral health through systems-level change.
The Health Impact Project’s toolkit contains resources that help communities, agencies, and other organizations take action to improve public health. The toolkit offers a collection of health impact assessments, guides, and other research to support policymakers’ efforts to consider health when making decisions across sectors, such as housing, planning, and education.
