The community profile has been undertaken by the HSE West as part of the Health Impact Assessment that is currently being conducted on various elements of the Limerick Regeneration Project. A Health Impact Assessment allows us to take a close look at the potential of any project, policy or programme to positively or negatively impact the health of the target group in question. By building a picture of potential positive and negative health impacts the correct steps can be made to maximise opportunities to improve health and protect against health damaging impacts. A community profile allows us to have a sense of the likely determinants to impact the health of the communities in question e.g. education attainment, levels of employment, number of lone parents etc. We envisaged that this information is relevant not only to HSE but also to the Limerick Regeneration Team and statutory, voluntary and community organisations working in these areas and local residents and community groups. This profile can be a valuable resource to support these organisations in their service planning and delivery. The information in this profile is drawn from various sources but in particular from the Census 2006 and other sources of information in this profile which include information from the Health Service Executive, the National Suicide Research Foundation, the National Cancer Registry of Ireland and the Health Research Board. The data covers demographics, health & health behaviour trends in the regeneration areas and information on issues that have a direct impact on the health of individuals and their communities. We hope that you will find this community profile useful and relevant to you and/or your service.
