Strategic Planning Brainstorming Session: Priorities for Preserving Environmental Programs

10:00 – 10:30 am

Welcome/ Introductions
Michael Heumann, Oregon

In 2012, two sets of cancer cluster investigation guidelines, in regards to cancer cluster investigations, will be
published. The first is an update of the 1990 Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) entitled “CSTE/
CDC Guidelines for Investigating Cancer Clusters.” The second is entitled “Cancer Clusters: A Toolkit for
Communicators” and is a collaboration of CDC and The National Public Health Information Coalition. The
purpose of this session is to describe these new resources and discuss how state and local public health
official who respond to public concerns related to cancer can incorporate these approaches. The panel will
consist of members of both workgroups and will outline key aspects of both documents. Presenters will teach
attendees about the content and uses of communicators’ tool kit, and lead discussion on how epidemiologists
can work together with communicators at the state level to improve communication with the community
during a cancer cluster investigation. In addition, attendees will learn about updates to the MMWR, including
the 4 stage process.

This pre-workshop discussion will address some of the on-going problems that have resulted from decreased
federal support for environmental health, with an emphasis on environmental epidemiology. A panel of state/
local environmental epidemiologists will first review previously implemented solutions to decreased financial
support for environmental programs and then describe future anticipated impacts of continued budget cuts
on existing programs, such as lead/healthy homes and preparedness, to better understand the programmatic
response choices public health agencies have made thus far. Everyone will be invited to identify/discuss
strategies for effectively prioritizing important environmental health programs, and how to communicate these
priorities to decision-makers.

Environmental Public Health Tracking: Role in Prevention and Public Health Response
Moderator: Ekta Choudhary, CDC
Environmental Public Health Tracking is the ongoing collection, integration, analysis, interpretation, and
dissemination of data from environmental hazard monitoring, and from human exposure and health effects
surveillance. Since the network launched, public health officials have used the Tracking Network to implement
prevention strategies and to respond to public health concerns. For example, state and local Tracking Programs
have used their public and secure portals to improve emergency response in New Mexico; answer community
concerns about cancer and potential links to environmental hazards in Maryland; target school-based asthma
prevention strategies in Pennsylvania; and reduce exposure from arsenic-contaminated drinking water in
Oregon. This session will include a few examples of how the Tracking Network has been used and a discussion
focused on identifying additional content and functionality for the Tracking Network to improve its utility for
public health prevention and response activities.

SUNDAY JUNE 3

The 2012 Overview of Multistate Foodborne Disease Outbreak Investigations Pre-conference Workshop will
provide an opportunity to learn the basics of how to investigate a multistate foodborne disease outbreak. This
workshop is intended for state and local public health professionals and others involved with these outbreaks.
The goals for attendees are to identify the source of the outbreak, prevent additional illnesses, and to identify
gaps in our food safety systems helping to prevent similar outbreaks from occurring in the future. This workshop
will be tailored towards individuals looking for a general overview and understanding of multistate foodborne
disease outbreak investigations and will cover the step-by-step process of investigating these outbreaks.
Topics to be covered include who is involved in multistate investigations, detecting possible outbreaks using
PulseNet, detecting and finding cases during the outbreak, hypothesis generation methods, analytic studies,
and reporting outbreaks to the National Outbreak Reporting System (NORS).

The Role of Epidemiology in Co mmunity
Health Assessments Workshop

Community Health Assessments (CHAs) are important tools for understanding and improving population
health, reducing disparities, and preparing for and responding to public health emergencies. Two recent
developments have increased interest in CHAs. First, the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act
(ACA) requires nonprofit hospitals to conduct community health needs assessments (CHNAs) every three
years. The CHNAs must represent the broad interests of the community and include individuals with expertise
in public health. Second, the voluntary public health accreditation standards, launched in 2011, require a
comprehensive CHA and community improvement plan (CHIP). CHA and CHIP are two of the prerequisites
for state and local health departments wishing to apply and are included within the accreditation standards.
CHAs are based on epidemiological methods and often require competencies in a range of disciplines
including chronic disease, infectious disease, injury, and environmental health.
The first half of the workshop will provide an overview of CHA requirements with a focus on the role of state and
local epidemiologists; opportunities and potential benefits of collaboration; available resources and practical
tools for data collection, analysis, and interpretation; and case studies and lessons learned from the field.
These presentations will be followed by interactive learning opportunities conducted in small groups. The utility
of available resources and tools as well as participant identified needs for additional training, tools, and/or
resources relating to CHAs may also be discussed. The workshop will end with a facilitated discussion of the
practical application of CHAs as foundation for health improvement planning and other health protection
activities.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
sUnderstand the requirements for CHAs and CHIPs and opportunities for collaboration.
sUnderstand the utility of CHAs for:
♦ improving community health;
♦ addressing upstream health determinants including social and environmental factors;
♦ responding to natural disasters and other public health emergencies.
sIdentify available planning models (e.g., MAPP), data resources, and tools including EpiInfo and
Community Assessment for Public Health Emergency Response (CASPER).
sLearn lessons from the field.
