Health Impact Assessments

We assess physical, mental, and behavioral outcomes associated with place-based and community interventions. Our process centers cultural relevance, prioritizes community voice, and integrates both lived experience and science to understand what matters most to health. We also include workforce and economic outcomes, such as education and job training, to understand impact across multiple domains.

What We Measure in Health Impact Assessments

We collect a diverse set of physical, behavioral, and biological data to evaluate how community-based programs influence health. Our approach combines clinical outcomes with lifestyle and behavioral patterns to gain a deeper understanding of community wellness. Each study is customized to reflect the specific goals and context of the project.

Clinical Outcomes

We evaluate a range of clinical indicators to measure physical health outcomes:

  1. Weight-related outcomes (BMI, waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, body fat percentage)
  2. Blood sugar levels or glycemic control (e.g., A1C testing)
  3. Gut microbiome composition and diversity
  4. Cholesterol levels and other blood-based biomarkers

Clinical Outcomes

Behavioral Outcomes

Behavioral assessments help us understand community health behaviors and engagement

  1. Health knowledge and attitudes
  2. Dietary intake or exercise frequency
  3. Adherence to medication or vaccine usage
  4. Other health-related behaviors

Study Design Flexibility

Our studies are tailored to meet the needs of each project. We can design longitudinal (pre/post-intervention), cohort-based, or cross-sectional studies — or a hybrid of these.
We also have the ability to expand the study to include families and broader community networks. Explore more in our Social Network Analysis Study Design section.
