By University of Washington School of Public Health, Just Health Action and the Duwamish River Cleanup Coalition/Technical Advisory Group

Published May 13, 2013

"[Researchers at the University of Washington School of Health] partnered with two nonprofit groups, Just Health Action and the Duwamish River Cleanup Coalition/Technical Advisory Group, to assess the potential health impacts of the Duwamish River Cleanup on Tribes and people who use the Duwamish River or live or work nearby.

The health impact assessment (HIA) focuses on health changes that may result from the proposed cleanup and makes recommendations about how to minimize health impacts, maximize health benefits, and reduce health disparities in the affected populations."
