Alameda County Proposition 64 Health Impact Assessment With the passage of Proposition 64 in 2016, California voted to legalize adult-use cannabis. Since that time Alameda County has been working to determine appropriate regulations for this new industry. Staff from the Public Health Department recently led the process of conducting a Health Impact Assessment (HIA) to explore the impacts of Proposition 64 on health and equity in Alameda County. The HIA looks broadly at the impacts of Proposition 64 on the health outcomes of specific populations, land use, public safety, criminalization, and access to economic opportunity. Findings and recommendations from the HIA will also be presented and discussed in a series of community forums being held throughout Alameda County in the coming months.

Persistent Poverty Story Map Neighborhoods with persistent poverty are marked by lack of access to services, deprivation, and struggle to make ends meet. Persistent poverty is defined as a high-poverty census tract (20 percent or more persons in poverty) that has had high poverty since 1970 through each of the decennial censuses—and more recently—in the American Community Survey. Alameda County has prepared a story map on ArcGIS Online highlighting these areas, the root causes, overlapping factors including race/ethnic plurality and unemployment, and a correlated health outcome, life expectancy. The work of the Alameda County Public Health Department is highlighted, as they work with community partners to make local policy changes aimed at improving population health by achieving education, economic, and environmental justice. |
