Summary:Quantifying the impact of exposure to environmental chemical mixtures is important for identifying risk factors diseases and developing more targeted public health interventions. The National Institute Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) held a workshop in July 2015 address need develop novel statistical approaches multi-pollutant epidemiology studies. primary objective was identify compare different methods analyzing complex data both simulated real-world sets. At workshop,...
Summary: The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) introduces a new translational research framework that builds upon previous biomedical models to create more comprehensive and integrated environmental health paradigm. was developed as graphical construct illustrates the complexity designing, implementing, tracking in health. We conceptualize series concentric rings nodes, defining "translation" movement either from one ring another or between nodes on ring. A...
As headlines any day of the week can tell us, climate change is no longer a black cloud looming on distant horizon. Rather, it swirling into our backyards and cities, rolling waves along coastlines, shimmering in heat not only deserts but farmlands as well. And although science has settled that occurring human activities are large part cause, what this will mean for persons, communities, populations over decades to come remains mostly shrouded scientific fog. A new report, however, suggests...
Children's health and wellbeing are known to be influenced by interactions between environmental genetic factors; however, the characterization of exposure in children's studies is often relatively limited. Many fail consider factors their analysis, some will focus on one or two targeted exposures, only a small number broadly exposures scale exposome. Implementing exposome concept an epidemiological setting daunting problem with major challenges: access state-of-the-art technologies for...
Analysis of exposure to environmental chemical mixtures is a well-known issue in epidemiology. Challenges include: numerous potential exposures interest; high degrees correlation between some exposures; non-uniform data distributions; and paucity toxicologic use as guidance when constructing epidemiological models. New methods for epidemiologic analysis are being developed, but it not known how well they perform or compare with conventional approaches. The NIEHS held workshop July 2015...
The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) Superfund Research Program (SRP) funds a wide range university-based research to address public health concerns arising from hazardous substances in the environment. Since its inception 1987, SRP has applied multidisciplinary approach that combines laboratory-based and population-based studies, as well community engagement translation, improve our understanding minimize effects associated with exposures contaminants. For...
ISEE-0336 Background and Objective: Community participation can enhance research through improved participant recruitment retention; allow community input about relevant environmental health issues; improve trust between researchers the community; provide more effective dissemination of findings. The National Institute Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) supports many activities Partnerships for Public (PEPH) program that effectively engages communities, in turn, benefits process. Methods:...
