The EIR Guide is designed to help public health staff examine proposals and identify actions to effectively reduce health disparities and increase health equity. Specifically, the Guide offers a systematic approach to identify ways to modify a proposed policy or project: to ensure it will reduce health disparities and not make them worse; better understand the uneven impacts on various populations; and recommend project and policies that promote equity and east adverse impacts.
