Environmental Health Sciences Decision Making: Risk Management, Evidence, and Ethics: Workshop Summary

Environmental Health Sciences Decision Making: Risk Management, Evidence, and Ethics: Workshop Summary

Roundtable on Environmental Health Sciences Research and Medicine
0/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
Environmental health decision making can be a complex undertaking, as there is the need to navigate and find balance among three core elements: science, policy, and the needs of the American public. Policy makers often grapple with how to make appropriate decisions when the research is uncertain. The challenge for the policy maker is to make the right decision with the best available data in a transparent process.



The Environmental Health Sciences Decision Making workshop, the first in a series, was convened to inform the Roundtable on Environmental Health Sciences, Research, and Medicine on emerging issues in risk management, weight of evidence, and ethics that influence environmental health decision making.
The workshop, summarized in this volume, included an overview of the principles underlying decision making, the role of evidence and challenges for vulnerable populations, and ethical issues of conflict of interest, scientific integrity, and transparency. The workshop engaged science interest groups, industry, government, and the academic sector.
