Appendix C
Statement of Task
An ad hoc committee will plan and conduct a public workshop that will feature presentations and discussion of applying a health lens to decisions made in the private sector. Applying a health lens refers to giving consideration for potential health effects in decisions made in many relevant domains, such as education, transportation, and housing. This workshop will build on a 2013 workshop on Applying a Health Lens to Decision Making in Non-Health Sectors, but with a greater focus on policy, practices, and investments in the private sector and in public–private collaboration. The committee will identify specific topics to be addressed, develop the agenda, select and invite speakers and other participants, and moderate the discussions. A summary of the presentations and discussions at the workshop will be prepared by a designated rapporteur in accordance with institutional guidelines.
