What is the Healthy Development Measurement Tool (HDMT)?
The experience and research of ENCHIA is now being integrated into a Healthy Development Measurement Tool (HDMT) to support more accountable, evidence-based, and health-oriented planning and policy-making. In its current form, components of the Tool include: Community Health Objectives that, if achieved, would result in greater and more equitable health assets and resources for San Francisco residents. Measurable Indicators for each of the objectives to help measure progress towards the objectives and evaluate the benefits of projects, plans, and policies. Established Standards which, when available, have been established by other sources as a means to advance health. Baseline Data for each indicator to inform us how we are doing today. Development Targets to provide specific planning and development criteria that advance community health objectives. Evidence-based Health Justifications that provide a rationale for why achieving each target would improve human health. • Who are the pot
