Strengthening environmental health capacity (EHC) to detect, prevent, and control environmental health hazards through data-driven, evidence-based approaches - In response to Program Announcement CDC-RFA-EH20-2005, Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Strengthening Environmental Health Capacity (EHC) to Detect, Prevent, and Control Environmental Health Hazards Through Data-driven, Evidence-based Approaches program, the New Hampshire (NH) Department of Environmental Services (DES), Environmental Health Program (EHP), in partnership with the NH Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), Division of Public Health Services (DPHS) seeks to earn the cooperative agreement with CDC for the coming five-year period beginning September 1, 2020. As the state’s environmental agency, DES is responsible for ensuring high levels of water quality for water supplies, ecological balance, and recreational benefits; regulating the emissions of air pollutants; fostering the proper management of municipal and industrial waste; supervising public water systems and managing water resources for future generations. The EHP is a non-regulatory environmental public health program within DES and is responsible for the identification, evaluation and elimination of health risks associated with environmental hazards. EHP works closely with all regulatory divisions of DES, which include the Waste Management, Air, and Water Divisions, and with DPHS to meet shared goals and objectives. DPHS is the public health entity within NH’s Health and Human Services Department and is responsible for protecting, promoting and improving the health and well-being of all people in NH by delivering high quality, evidence-based health services. DPHS provides extensive environmental health (EH) resources through its Environmental Health Integration Team (EHIT), with the goal of increasing EH capacity and priority through collaboration, strategic planning and integration of resources. The EHIT is comprised of various programs within DPHS including the Environmental Public Health Tracking program (EPHT) and the Biomonitoring Program. The goals of this program are to: 1) use EH data for data-driven decision-making; 2) identify and address EH hazards; and 3) assess the effectiveness and impact of EH services and interventions. To address these goals, environmental data from across various DES and DPHS databases will be aggregated, deidentified, and undergo statistical analysis and visualization using programs such as GIS (StoryMaps) and Tableau (web-based dashboards). This data will be made publicly available through the DPHS’ WISDOM Data Portal, supported by the EPHT program with a public education and outreach component. The aggregated data will also be used by DES and DPHS to identify areas with environmental hazards which may adversely impact public health with a focus on underserved and/or disadvantaged populations. The first year of the award will focus on building and strengthening the core capacity to use environmental water quality data to inform decision making and to identify environmental health hazards identified in drinking water, particularly in water from private wells, which serve nearly half of NH residents. DES and DPHS are also proposing a collaboration to improve access to safe drinking water from private wells under Component B-1 of the NOFO. The goals of this program are to: 1) identify areas served by wells that are more likely to present a risk to human health; 2) identify interventions that address the risk; 3) implement the best intervention(s); and 4) evaluate the success of the intervention(s). DES and DPHS are committed to working collaboratively to achieve CDC’s primary goal of increasing EH capacity in the state, and this grant opportunity will provide needed resources for both agencies to expand their EH capacity to assess and respond to issues involving human exposure to contaminants.
