PEPH Webinars

Windows of Susceptibility

This webinar focused on (1) the impact of exposure on the methylome and (2) normal breast tissue biomarkers of environmental exposure.

Neurodevelopment and Children's Environmental Health

NIEHS supports a robust research program looking at environmental contributions to brain health in children. This webinar focused on current research findings and their relevance to environmental public health.

Green Spaces and Health

This webinar discussed recent research showing that higher levels of green vegetation are associated with decreased mortality and that neighborhood greenery decreases aggressive behavior in adolescents.

Climate Change and Health

This webinar featured a discussion by climate change experts on new tools and approaches for enhancing both individual and community resilience.

The Complexity of Communicating Risk in the Context of Fish Consumption

This webinar highlighted three researchers who are exploring the challenge of communicating risk about eating fish from waters known to contain high levels of pollutants while simultaneously conveying the benefits of fish consumption for human health.

Urban Gardening

The speakers in this webinar hightlighted some of the possible environmental exposures facing urban gardeners and outlined steps for reducing or preventing those exposures.

Healthy Homes

In this webinar, we heard from three groups that have been working on healthy homes issues for over a decade as part of their efforts within NIEHS-funded Centers programs.

Meet the Editors

In this webinar, three journal editors presented some general ideas about what it takes to get an article published, styles and formats appropriate for environmental public health, and the possibility of special issues and supplements.

Grants Management for Community Organizations

This webinar provided some tips and guidance for community organizations trying to navigate the policies and regulations related to NIEHS grants.

Tribal Ecological Knowledge (TEK) and Its Value for Environmental Health Sciences

This webinar included an overview of TEK, as well as presentations about (a) how it is used to understand the relationship between toxic exposures, health, and the environment in the Arctic and (b) the development of Indigenous Health Indicators that reflect a holistic view of health held by tribal communities.

Diet, Nutrition, and Environmental Public Health

This webinar featured two researchers who have been examining the interplay between diet and environmental exposures and how that may influence health outcomes.

Citizen Science

This webinar included presentations on examples of how citizen science is successfully incorporated into research and resources available to conduct citizen science projects.

Risk Communication: Addressing the Needs of Your Community

This webinar features two investigators from the NIEHS-funded Deepwater Horizon Research Consortium who have developed communication approaches for at-risk populations in the context of disaster events. They discussed approaches for building trust and respect with research partners, creating culturally sensitive communications, and delivering actionable risk messages to individuals and communities.

Public Health Disaster Research Response

This webinar discussed the current Public Health Disaster Research Response (DR2) and Science Preparedness efforts to help respond to the need for timely research during emergencies.

Environmental Health Literacy: The Evolution of a New Field

This webinar featured two recognized experts who highlighted the relationship between health literacy and improved health outcomes, as well as how other fields contribute to environmental health literacy research.

Microbes, the Environment, and You

This webinar featured talks from two researchers who are using model systems to investigate how the microbiome responds to environmental exposures, as well as its relationship to environmentally induced disease states.

The Costs and Benefits of Preventing Lead Exposure: Putting Economics into the Picture

This webinar reviewed the socioeconomic costs of lead exposure and identified an economically viable lead-abatement strategy at the community level.

Assessing Population Vulnerability to Health Impacts of Climate Change

This webinar discussed how health risks from climate change differ, based on demographic and socioeconomic variables.

Residents, Responders, and Resilience

This webinar discussed various facets of resilience, including the interaction of individual and community resilience, the role of longstanding socioeconomic disparities, and the importance of networking and capacity building.

Alternative Models in Environmental Health Research: Improving Science and Reducing, Refining, or Replacing Animal Testing

This webinar highlighted some examples of the use of these alternative models in environmental health research.
