评价现有数据是评估当地环境健康的一个关键的初步步骤。作为一个多组织的倡议，以改善环境健康在匹兹堡，宾夕法尼亚州地区的一部分，匹兹堡健康环境和社区中心（CHEC）的大学采访了70名专家在学术界，政府，非营利组织和私营部门和审查印刷和电子资源，以表征环境和公共卫生数据在该地区。这项工作的目标是：提供一个概念框架，以便对当地关于环境危害、接触和健康终点的数据进行分类;描述和评价国家和地方现有的环境公共健康数据类型;确定目前为收集和分类这类数据所做的努力;以及介绍关于环境健康数据的可得性或不可得性在现实生活中的相关性的案例研究。该项目的目的和相关性，方法的演变，成功和遇到的挑战，以及预期的下一步。这一过程的描述和由此产生的综合报告是提供给社区，在州和地方卫生部门一级以及外行社区成员，从事类似的努力，以表征他们的地方和区域环境卫生景观。概述的框架作为背景的相关全州范围内的环境卫生项目由宾夕法尼亚州卫生部通过宾夕法尼亚州跨学科环境政策联盟（PCIEP）赞助，并可能作为基于社区的数据评估的基础，为国家环境公共卫生跟踪计划。
Evaluation of available data is a critical preliminary step in the assessment of local environmental health. As part of a multi-organizational initiative to improve environmental health in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania region, the University of Pittsburgh Center for Healthy Environments and Communities (CHEC) interviewed 70 experts in the academic, government, non-profit, and private sectors and reviewed print and electronic resources to characterize environmental and public health data available in the region. The objectives of this undertaking were: to provide a conceptual framework for categorizing data locally on environmental hazards, exposures and health endpoints, to describe and evaluate the types of environmental public health data available nationally and locally, to identify existing endeavors to gather and categorize such data, and to present case studies on the real-life relevance of the availability or lack of availability of environmental health data. The purpose and relevance of this project, the evolution of the methodology, successes and challenges met, and anticipated next steps are presented. This process description and resulting comprehensive report is available to communities, at both the state and local health department level as well as lay community members, engaged in similar endeavors, to characterize their local and regional environmental health landscape. The framework outlined serves as background for a related statewide environmental health project sponsored by the Pennsylvania Department of Health through the Pennsylvania Consortium on Interdisciplinary Environmental Policy (PCIEP) and potentially as a foundation for community-based data evaluation for the National Environmental Public Health Tracking Program.
