Community Outreach and Education Program (COEP)

The Center’s Community Outreach and Education Program (COEP) builds on the broad experience of several members of the Center. The focus of COEP is to improve the environmental health literacy of youth and educators, assist communities to identify and address environmental health issues of concern to its residents and provide short training courses that address environmental health issues. The overall goals of COEP are to

  • provide accurate, unbiased information about environmental health risks based on state-of-the-art research with specific links to investigations conducted by Center investigators;

  • develop school-based programs to enhance K-12 curricula in environmental health;

  • develop educational tools that help people make health promoting decisions about the environment, individually and at the workplace, school or community level; and

  • provide training for health care professionals and workers to upgrade competencies related to environmental health.
