Question: Is there anything in the communtiy toolbox on working with communities on environmental health issues?
Answer: Nothing beyond materials that relate to core competencies for community health promotion. For information on Environmental Health initiatives and efforts, you may want to check out the Centers for Disease Control (http://www.cdc.gov/, especially ASTDR which does the enviro health work now), and the Guide to Community Prventive Services (http://www.thecommunityguide.org) for their review of the science and best practices in the area. Best of luck!
