What is the main goal of the health impact assessment module in EMRE?

The main goal of the health impact assessment module in EMRE is to evaluate health outcomes and inform policy decisions. This module is designed to provide an evidence-based framework for understanding how different policies, programs, and projects may influence health outcomes within a community or population. By assessing the potential health impacts, stakeholders can make more informed choices that lead to improved health policies and initiatives. This approach integrates health considerations into the decision-making process, ensuring that health impacts are taken into account alongside other social and economic factors.

In contrast, focusing on economic impacts, gathering personal health information, or limiting the assessment to physical health improvements are all aspects that do not encompass the broader goal of incorporating health outcome evaluations into policy-making. The focus is on a comprehensive assessment that considers various health determinants and their implications for overall community health, rather than isolating specific health data or improvements.
