Risk Communication for Environmental Health Practitioners.

Abstract

NEHA strives to provide up-to-date and relevant information on environmental health and to build partnerships in the profession. In pursuit of these goals, we feature this column on environmental health services from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in every issue of the Journal. In these columns, authors from CDC's Water, Food, and Environmental Health Services Branch, as well as guest authors, will share insights and information about environmental health programs, trends, issues, and resources. The conclusions in these columns are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily represent the official position of CDC. Vivi Siegel is the crisis and emergency risk communication lead for CDC's Division of Environmental Health Science and Practice in the National Center for Environmental Health.
