| 02-27084 | Availability of the Draft Online Learning Program, The Public Health Assessment Process and the Community, Public Comment Release | Notice | ATSDR conducts public health assessments to evaluate whether people have come in contact with hazardous substances released into the environment and whether contact with the substances has affected the health of those people exposed to the hazardous substances. The process used to conduct public health assessments includes gathering information from community members about how they might have come in contact with hazardous substances released into the environment and the concerns they have about the effect of the substances on their health. In addition to information gathered from community members, ATSDR also evaluates environmental data pertaining to a particular release, evaluates toxicologic and epidemiologic data relevant to exposures, and evaluates existing health outcome data if appropriate. Recommendations might be made to eliminate or reduce exposure to harmful levels of hazardous substances that have been released into the environment. The online learning program provides information on the basic concepts used by ATSDR staff and agents of ATSDR in conducting public health assessments. This online learning program is intended to assist community members in understanding the ATSDR public health assessment process and to provide additional information concerning the process that may not be available through other forums. Because interaction with community members is a critical component of the public health assessment process, ATSDR believes that public comments may help us improve the quality of the program. All comments received during the public comment period will be considered when making improvements to the program. Availability: The draft online program, The Public Health Assessment Process and the Community, will be available to the public on or about October 15, 2002. The close of the comment period will be 60 days from the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register and will be indicated on the first page of the Web site. Comments received after close of the public comment period will be considered at the discretion of ATSDR based upon what is deemed to be in the best interest of the general public. | 2002-10-24 | 2002 | 10 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2002/10/24/02-27084/availability-of-the-draft-online-learning-program-the-public-health-assessment-process-and-the | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2002-10-24/pdf/02-27084.pdf | Health and Human Services Department; Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry | 221,7 | ATSDR conducts public health assessments to evaluate whether people have come in contact with hazardous substances released into the environment and whether contact with the substances has affected the health of those people exposed to the hazardous... |
