Welcome
The former training course “Public Health Assessment and the Community” has been updated with a new web-based training, including modules that are accredited for continued education. Click on this link to be transferred to the new training.
Public Health Assessment Overview 1 – Mission and Community” is the first of a series of 3 online learning courses for public health professionals and trainees. The courses provide a detailed summary of the public health assessment process. This is the process the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) uses to evaluate whether people could be harmed by hazardous materials.
The current course, “Public Health Assessment Overview 1 – Mission and Community” not only explains ATSDR’s role in the public health assessment process; it also shows how affected community members can become constructively involved in that process.
