School of Public Health and Community Medicine - University of Washington - Summer 2006

The department’s 2003-2005 biennial report focuses on “Assessing, Managing, and Communicating Risks.”?

In the report, you will read about a new predictive tool that can identify the injured workers who are at risk of chronic disability and about a win-win solution to a neighborhood noise problem that also reduces risks to workers. You will learn how technology can be applied to identify farm workers whose risk of pesticide-related symptoms may be higher than average and to reduce the risk of waterborne illness.

You will learn how a new interdisciplinary center is working to uncover some of the mysteries in the human-ocean relationship. And you will learn how departmental research is helping inform decision making about lead in the drinking water in the Seattle Public Schools.
