Advancing Environmental Health Equity Through Implementation Science Workshop February 28 – March 1, 2022, EST Monday, February 28 • 11:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Tuesday, March 1 • 11:00 a.m. – 4:45 p.m. Exposures in the physical, built, and social environments can negatively affect the health of individuals and communities and disproportionately impact racial and ethnic minority groups. Given the interconnectedness of the environment with individual- and structural-level social determinants of health, ensuring equitable implementation of interventions, programs, and policies that prevent or mitigate these environmental exposures is urgently needed. Implementation science is the study of methods to promote the adoption and integration of evidence-based interventions, programs, and policies into community, public health, and clinical settings. The purpose of this workshop hosted by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences is to explore how implementation science can inform the development, adaptation, implementation and scale-up of interventions, practices, and policies to prevent or mitigate potentially harmful environmental exposures and ultimately advance environmental health equity. Registration is required. |
