Facilitators will describe examples of the HIA Scoping process in various project contexts. Participants will engage in hands on exercises to practice using Scoping tools, such as developing a pathway diagram that links a health consequence and/or health condition with a program or policy decision. The exercise is designed to help participants identify the links between a proposed activity and health outcomes that could be described and supported in an HIA.
