This course is one of three foundational courses for the Environmental Hazard Assessment (EHA) Certificate. Environmental health is a field of public health in which environmental hazards and health risks to populations are identified, assessed and managed through a data-driven process. This course extends the depth of concepts taught in the Core curriculum and extends the breadth to teach the scientific and policy aspects of relevant environmental health situations. We take the opportunity to partner with communities to design and conduct a data collection and analysis effort that is suitable for rigorous analyses with the many tools commonly used in environmental health. The methods relevant to the field are taught in the context of the relevant environmental health issues of today. Students are well prepared for upper level (Level 3) environmental health courses and for success as public health professionals.
