环境健康素养（EHL）正在合并为一个新的子学科，它结合了风险沟通，健康素养，环境健康科学（EHS），通信研究和安全文化领域的关键原则和程序要素。这些学科为EHL的发展贡献了独特的专业知识和观点。自1992年以来，国家环境健康科学研究所（NIEHS）为EHL的发展做出了贡献，现在正在寻求刺激其科学进步和严谨性。这篇文章的主要目的是激发对话，并推进研究，EHL。在这篇文章中，我们提出了一个定义和概念框架EHL，描述EHL在其社会和历史背景下，确定EHL正在定义和实施的互补领域和领域，并概述了研究议程。对网络和文献检索的广泛审查表明，EHL的概念正在迅速发展，其范围和调查的定义也在迅速发展。虽然几位作者已经概述了不同的框架，我们认为，一个更细致入微的模型的基础上布鲁姆的分类法更适合EHL和未来的研究在这一领域。我们认为，EHL可能有利于社区参与和健康差异EHS研究的开展和结果，并可以确保研究结果的转化将导致对特定风险的更好理解，减少暴露，并改善个人和社区的健康结果。我们提出了四项建议，以推进EHL的工作。Finn S，奥法伦L. 2017.环境健康素养的出现-从根源到未来潜力。环境健康展望125：495-501; http：dx.doi.org/10.1289/ehp.1409337
Environmental health literacy (EHL) is coalescing into a new subdiscipline that combines key principles and procedural elements from the fields of risk communication, health literacy, environmental health sciences (EHS), communications research, and safety culture. These disciplines have contributed unique expertise and perspectives to the development of EHL. Since 1992, the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) has contributed to the evolution of EHL and now seeks to stimulate its scientific advancement and rigor. The principal objective of this article is to stimulate a conversation on, and advance research in, EHL. In this article, we propose a definition of and conceptual framework for EHL, describe EHL in its social and historical context, identify the complementary fields and domains where EHL is being defined and implemented, and outline a research agenda. Extensive reviews of web and literature searches indicate that the concept of EHL is evolving rapidly, as are the definitions of its scope and inquiry. Although several authors have outlined different frameworks, we believe that a more nuanced model based on Bloom’s taxonomy is better suited to EHL and to future research in this area. We posit that EHL can potentially benefit the conduct and outcomes of community-engaged and health disparities EHS research and can ensure that the translation of research findings will lead to greater understanding of specific risks, reduction of exposures, and improvement of health outcomes for individuals and communities. We provide four recommendations to advance work in EHL. Finn S, O’Fallon L. 2017. The emergence of environmental health literacy—from its roots to its future potential.
