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
