The Healthy Development Measurement Tool is a product of the Urban Health and Place Team at the Program on Health, Equity and Sustainability within the San Francisco Department of Public Health. As described in the background, the HDMT was developed as part of the Eastern Neighborhoods Community Health Impact Assessment (ENCHIA) project.
The Urban Health and Place Team develops, applies and disseminates tools, research and expertise to assess environmental conditions and respond to urban health inequities and environmental policy gaps. Specific tools include:
- Healthy Development Measurement Tool
- Noise and Air Quality Modeling
- Pedestrian Injury Collision Modeling
- Pedestrian and Bicycle Environmental Quality Indices
- Pedestrian Flow Model
- Retail Food Index
- Neighborhood Completeness Indicator
We use these tools and our general public health expertise to work with community stakeholders and government agencies to inform project development and policy-making and to improve the consideration of health and health inequities in decision-making. Please visit the Program on Health, Equity and Sustainability for more information on these tools.
