Comment |
Please see attached comments from a group of physicians. As an individual I would like to reiterate my comments from previous workshops about the need to broaden the health modeling of scenarios. Modeling should include the substantial health benefits of physical activity by using CDPH's Integrated Transport and Health Impact Model. Modeling should also include adverse health impacts like groundwater contamination and worsening air pollution from encouraging the expansion of CAFO dairies with biodigester subsidies, and increases in direct and upstream fossil fuel emissions from carbon capture. Health modeling should add weight when impacts, positive and negative, affect vulnerable populations, since baseline health, resistance to disease, ability to shelter oneself from harmful exposures, and access to health care all influence health outcomes. Inequity itself is a powerful social determinant of health. Whether measures perpetuate, aggravate, or alleviate inequity should be part of health modeling. Thank you. |
