Through professional development focused on identifying and reducing exposure to environmental hazards in home and community settings, we propose to enhance the capacity of childcare and public health professionals to recognize hazards and recommend risk reduction strategies. As a result, these professionals will become community resources on children’s environmental health and can inform development of policies that are protective of children’s health. Additionally, by involving undergraduate students majoring in public health education at a local historically Black college and university, we will contribute to a more diverse environmental health sciences workforce in the future.
