| With the publication of the Pew Environmental Health Commission's Report in September 2000, efforts to improve and increase environmental public health tracking have grown exponetially. This session will examine the theoretical, legal and practical approaches to environmental public health tracking. Methodological approaches used to identify priority health conditions for tracking will be discussed along with the major gaps at all levels of government that compromise the integrity and usefulness of existing tracking systems. Existing legal and policy frameworks are evaluated to make recommendations. The needs, barriers and strategies to implement effective tracking by state governments and environmental health professionals will be discussed. | |||
