Understanding the Needs, Challenges, Opportunities, Vision, and Emerging Roles in Environmental Health (UNCOVER EH) collected information from more than 1,700 EH professionals in health departments across the nation, the first such assessment of the environmental health workforce.
UNCOVER EH seeks to assess and improve the profession and practice of environmental health. This is especially important during a time when health departments are engaging with complex emerging issues and reporting budget cuts and reductions in services.
This initiative is a partnership from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Environmental Health Association, and Baylor University.
