Outreach Overview

Mission Statement

The CEEH Community Outreach and Education Core (COEC) seeks to improve public understanding of the ways that special susceptibilities (e.g. genetic) and environmental factors interact to produce disease.

Program Background & Support

For more than ten years, the Community Outreach and Education Core at the CEEH has developed curriculum materials and hosted teacher workshops that help bridge the gap between schools and the research that takes place at the center. This focus on K-12 education has resulted in the development of print and electronic classroom materials that cover a variety of basic environmental health topics.

COEC staff have also been involved in numerous outreach efforts to communities that are affected by environmental health issues. Our work with these groups has resulted in a number of collaborative projects such as a study of seafood consumption patterns among Asian and Pacific Islanders in King County, a successful statewide town meeeting, and a pilot project to help the Shoalwater Bay Tribe evaluate the safety of local shellfish supplies.
