A child and youth impact assessment (YIA)* is an analytic tool that provides a consistent way for policymakers to understand the effects of a proposed policy on young people and to proactively incorporate the consideration of children into the decisions they make. The following tools provide background on youth impact assessments along with step-by-step guidance for how leaders for children can begin using them in their own communities.
*Youth impact assessments and child impact assessments refer to the same strategy but may be labeled to best suit individual communities.
