Childhood Cancer Awareness Month

Just in time to close out Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, here are the new factsheet and article I've written as a part of APHA's Children’s Environmental Health Committee's Communications Work Group.

Factsheet:  Preventing Childhood Cancer  linked from the Environment Section's Committees webpage

Article:  Childhood Cancer Report Highlights Urgent Need to Reduce Toxins in APHA's Public Health Newswire

These communications pieces are designed to accompany the Childhood Cancer Prevention Initiative's newly released report, "Childhood Cancer: Cross-Sector Strategies for Prevention."

Additionally, the factsheet is meant to highlight key facts and recommendations in APHA's Policy Statement, "Protecting Children's Environmental Health: A Comprehensive Framework," and promote the importance of mitigating environmental health risks to children.
