From actions to results: HEI’s accountability studies

October 31, 2025

Understanding whether actions designed to improve the environment and also benefit public health is key to shaping future progress and decisions. These actions often include regulations, policies, interventions, technological advancements, and other planned or unplanned events. As new actions to enhance environmental quality emerge, research that helps understand the potential effects on health will be essential.
