| This poster session provides an overview of social factor's that influence environmental health. In addition to such 'traditional' social factors as income, education, social support and network size, these presentations will also look at neighborhood and community level factors that affect health. Interactions between social factor's and environmental antecedents of disease will also be discussed. Both of these types of risk factors will be described in relation to both risk of exposure to environmental toxics and the risk of development of diseases such as Asthma, Cardiovascular disease and Diabetes. | |||
| Learning Objectives: After attending this session participants will be able to: 1)Identify Social factors that play a role in environmentally mediated disease 2) Describe how differences in social and economic characteristics may lead to differential risk for exposure to environmental contaminanants and development of environmentally mediated disease | |||
