Centers for Children's Environmental Health & Disease Prevention Research
Program Description
The Centers for Children's Environmental Health and Disease Prevention examine the effect of environmental exposures on children's health. Through a multidisciplinary research approach including basic, applied, and community-based participatory research, the Centers translate and communicate their findings to clinical and public health professionals and policy makers to alleviate the burden of environmentally induced diseases in children.
The long-range goals of this program include: (1) stimulate new and expand existing research on the role of environment in the etiology of disease/dysfunction among children, (2) develop novel effective intervention and prevention strategies, and (3) promote translation of basic research findings into applied intervention and prevention methods, thereby enhancing awareness among children, their families, and health care practitioners regarding detection, treatment, and prevention of environmentally related diseases and health conditions.
