4100—Global
Environmental Health—Part I
PAS Mini Course
Chair:
Ruth A. Etzel, George Washington University School of
Public Health and Health Services, Washington, DC
Pollution knows no borders, and efforts to protect
children from hazards in the environment have increasingly
recognized that some of the highest exposures to children
occur in the developing world. This 6-hour mini course
will provide pediatricians with information about
exposures, treatments and prevention of diseases linked to
environmental contamination.
Target Audience: Scientists and clinicians who are
interested in the problems facing children in the low- and
middle-income countries will learn about selected
environmental health issues from experts who have worked
in international settings.

The Pediatric Environmental Health (PEH) Special
Interest Group is looking forward to another excellent and
informative meeting at the Pediatric Academic Societies'
meeting in Washington, DC, in May 2005. This year's
meeting will focus on the state of pediatric environmental
health education across the country. We plan to have
presentations on new initiatives aimed at various
audiences including medical schools, residencies,
fellowships and practitioners. We plan to focus
specifically on ways that the PEH SIG can collaborate with
other groups like the AAP COEH, Residency Program
Directors, Continuity Clinic Directors and organizations
like PSR to support and expand these efforts. Further
program details are forthcoming. Please see the PAS
meeting website for an agenda as the meeting approaches.
We hope to see you in Washington and sustain the momentum
of increasing attendance annually at our sessions!

National Children's Study Moves To Implementation
The National Children’s Study, a longitudinal study
of the impact of environmental exposures on the health,
growth and well being of children, has moved into the
implementation phase with the public release of the Study
Plan and the 96 locations throughout the United States
where the study will be conducted. Two national
competitive Requests for Proposals were announced in
November 2004 for the initial “Vanguard” centers and
the Coordinating Center. This process creates the basic
structure to develop the final protocol and initiate
recruitment of subjects in 2006. The Study Plan calls for
30-50 additional centers to be selected in 2006-2007 to
enable the study to be fully operational.
This special symposium will outline the study plan
and describe the current strategy to move forward with the
implementation of the National Children’s Study.
Target Audience: Policymakers, Researchers,
Clinicians
