Preventing the effects of environmental degradation to human health � in particular child health � is a fundamental component of sound environmental policy and decision-making. The need exists for an international forum focused on children�s environmental health, to ensure that we conduct the necessary research, share the latest data, link with colleagues from other regions, and strengthen the interdisciplinary and international nature of children�s environmental health work. INCHES (International Network on Children�s Health, Environment, and Safety) will aspire to meet this need.
Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of this presentation, participants will be able to 1) discuss the goals of INCHES, and 2) recognize how INCHES will function as a coordinating structure for organizations
