课程名称:人类健康风险、健康公平与环境正义 课程概述:这是环境对全球公共健康影响专业化的第四门也是最后一门课程,涵盖两个主题。第一个主题是环境正义,即避免在我们的人口中出现不平等分配的环境健康威胁,并确保所有人都能享有健康安全的环境和健康公平。第二个主题是风险评估和管理,这是一种可用于评估和量化人类健康风险的框架,并识别适当的风险缓解方法以促进更好的健康。我们将探讨风险评估的步骤,以及如何将环境正义问题纳入和解决风险评估中。 课程大纲: 第1周:环境正义 描述:欢迎来到第1周!本周我们将进行课程和学习社区的介绍。随后,我们将开始定义和讨论环境正义,并探索美国及全球的环境正义问题。请在第1周的模块中了解更多关于环境正义的内容。 第2周:脆弱和易受影响的人群 描述:某些群体和社区比其他人更容易受到环境健康危害的影响。这意味着在制定应对环境不公的政策时,公平和正义必须作为两个主要目标。在第2周的模块中,我们将对此进行深入研究。 第3周:风险评估 描述:为评估潜在的环境不公,我们可以采用四步风险评估过程。这个过程包括哪些内容?又如何在现实生活中应用?在第3周的模块中,我们将进行探讨。 第4周:风险管理 描述:在进行风险评估后,我们可以采用风险管理来应对和减轻环境不公。风险管理的过程包含哪些内容?它与风险评估有什么关系?在第4周,我们将找到这些问题的答案,结束我们的课程。

Title:Week 4: Risk Management
Description:After employing a risk assessment, we can employ risk management to address and mitigate environmental injustices. What does the process of risk management involve, and how does it relate to risk assessment? Let’s find out the answers to these questions, and more, in Week 4, our last module.
The fourth and final course of the Impacts of the Environment on Global Public Health specialization will cover two topics. The first is environmental justice – that is, avoiding an inequitable distribution of environmental health threats in our population, and ensuring a healthy and safe environment and health equity for all. The second is risk assessment and management, a framework that can be utilized to assess and quantify human health risks, and to identify appropriate approaches to mitigating those risks and promoting better health. We will explore the steps involved in risk assessment, as well as how risk assessment can incorporate and address environmental justice issues.
