| In order to better understand the relationships between environmental hazards and cumulative risks, a conceptual framework is needed to develop common definitions and terms that will enhance dialogue among disproportionately affected communities, regulators and other stakeholders to guide strategies and actions to address health disparities. Environmental risk assessments are expressed quantitatively and environmental risk impacts are expressed qualitatively, will communities and the general public focus on individual environmental stressors that occur simultaneously and repeatedly. This session will examine placing emphasis on identifying multiple stressors and explore the impact that these stressors and exposure to environmental hazards have on the health of vulnerable populations. | |||
| Learning Objectives: Define health disparities, relationships; develop common definition in context of environmental health and disproportionate impact, implications for research methods such as CBPR. | |||
