In this paper we develop an economic tool that enables stakeholders to quantify the impact on population health of a specific intervention or policy relating to the environment in urban environments.
The tool is known as the Health Appraisal for Urban Systems tool (or HAUS for short). HAUS has three key features:
It is therefore intended for use as a tool to support scenario appraisal and to inform broader conversations around prioritization in health in urban development. The HAUS tool covers non-communicable disease in all populations in the UK, including older adults and children–categories not disaggregated within existing tools.
It is capable of estimating effects at the neighborhood scale, and can be extended to take into account different population sizes impacted but is not designed to be used to estimate effects on an individual or a single family group.
