Preventing Youth Marijuana Use: A Comprehensive Approach• Provide strong language in regulations regarding

youth access and enforcement of laws• Provide access to educational materials

Health Impact Assessment: The Changing Landscape in VT

Process Using research, evaluate plans or policies based on their

potential effects on the health of a population, and the distribution of those effects within the population.*

Questions What are the potential health impacts of the changing

landscape? What lessons can be learned from tobacco and alcohol

policy? What are the ways we can mitigate any potential negative

health effects and enhance any health benefits?
