CEHN SPONSORS SURVEY OF ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS ON POLICY ADVOCACY INVOLVEMENT
"Get involved!" How often have you been urged to vote, write to Congress, or otherwise speak out in support of public health? And how often have you actually done so?
Public health professionals are frequently told that they should get involved in the process of legislation or regulation, improving public health through applying their expertise and knowledge.
But what barriers might be keeping you or other professionals from getting involved in the policy-making process? What motivates public health professionals to get involved?
The Children's Environmental Health Network would like to better understand the barriers and motivations of environmental health professionals -- especially pediatric environmental health professionals -- in the policy-making process.
CEHN has developed a very brief Web-based confidential survey, which takes only a minute or two to fill out. Just go the Web page below:

By answering this survey, you can help CEHN in increasing the involvement and the effectiveness of environmental health professionals.
