Using the Equity Impact Review Toolkit

Keywords / Description:

King County developed the document "Using the Equity Impact Review Toolkit". The document provides local jurisdictions with examples on how the Equity Impact Review Toolkit can be applied in informing budgets, policies, and decision-making.

While the tool does not provide specific information about health in all policies (HiAP), the document does address how local communities can use the tools to inform planning and decision-making about public policies and programs which impact equity.
