SUMMARY:Environmental Health Risk: Analysis and Applications
DESCRIPTION:A Risk Analysis Course \nRisk analysis is a scientific tool designed to help us determine the existence and extent of threats to human health\, provide information about how best to manage these risks\, and improve our ability to communicate with the public about the proper response to these hazards. \nThis continuing education course explores the principles of risk assessment\, risk management\, and risk communication\, ensuring you can identify\, explain\, and make decisions about risks to public health. You will learn how risk analysis is done\, how it is interpreted\, and how it influences regulatory decision-making. This program will provide you with the knowledge and skills to analyze how environmental hazards impact human health. \nThis program uses case studies\, lectures\, and small-group work to explore such topics as hazard identification\, toxicology and epidemiology in risk analysis\, risk perception\, risk communication\, life-cycle assessment\, and the interplay of risk management and the law. You will gain the skills needed to: \n\nPerform a broader\, nuanced risk assessment\nImprove the effectiveness of current risk assessment practices\nApply these concepts to diverse risk analysis and management issues\n\nDuring this executive education program\, you will explore the legal and policy framework which will inform the direction of risk analysis in upcoming years\, gain the skills needed to perform a quantitative risk assessment\, discuss key factors influencing the effectiveness of risk assessment and management\, and apply these concepts in local\, state\, federal\, or international settings. After completing the course\, you will be able to determine whether hazards pose an unacceptable risk to public health\, communicate effectively about health risks\, and utilize risk analysis to improve decision-making. \nWhat is Risk Analysis? \nRisk analysis involves risk assessment (identifying and characterizing hazards to public health)\, risk management (evaluating how to protect public health)\, and risk communication (understanding and explaining health risks). \nRisk analysis is used to protect the environment and public health by organizing and communicating knowledge about health risks within a framework useful for decision making. This analysis is used to inform regulatory policy and address concerns associated with health hazards in the environment. \nWhy is Risk Analysis Important? \nThe public is increasingly concerned about how their health is impacted by environmental hazards such as chemicals\, pollution\, and food-borne disease. This increased awareness has repercussions for governments\, health organizations\, and private companies\, all of which have a stake in protecting public health. Risk analysis is a useful framework for managing health risks. \nUnderstanding the nature of risks\, how people perceive threats to their health\, and how risk information is communicated and understood is imperative to ensuring the proper management of environmental health risks. \nPrivate corporations need to be able to understand and address the impact of their operations and products on consumers to ensure they are not harming public health. Through the effective use of risk assessment methodologies\, your organization can reduce the costs associated with regulatory non-compliance\, avoid legal issues stemming from consumer liability and safety problems\, and build organizational trust through their proactive management of potentially hazardous scenarios. \nRisk analysis skills are equally important to public health agencies\, as they must be able to review risk assessments conducted by industry or other agencies\, interpret their findings\, and prioritize governmental response to public health hazards. \nDevelop an Unmatched Network of Public Health Leaders \nProgram participants come from diverse backgrounds\, functions\, and organizations from around the world\, tied together by their commitment to understanding how to improve public health. By bringing together the various stakeholders involved in risk analysis and management\, this course offers a truly rich experience. This program offers a small\, personal setting where you will learn as much from your fellow continuing education participants as from program faculty as you exchange valuable insights and best practices. With over 30% of alumni coming from outside the United States and representing more than 30 different countries\, this is a truly global course. You will leave Harvard having developed a global network of leading peers you can rely on for guidance as you return home and implement what you learned. \nCourse Website
