美国疾病控制和预防中心建立了环境公共卫生跟踪（EPHT）方案，以支持各州和地方的项目，这些项目描述了环境对健康的影响。这些项目涉及汇编、联系、分析和传播环境和健康监测信息，从而使利益攸关方参与进来，并指导改善公共健康的行动。环境污染监测计划的目标之一是跟踪环境空气污染对公众健康的影响，并及时进行与州和地方利益攸关方相关的分析。为了解决与这一目标相关的方法问题，2008年1月，来自美国、加拿大和欧洲的政府官员和研究人员聚集在马里兰州的巴尔的摩，举行了为期两天的研讨会。工作小组在讨论过程中，利用有关主要方法问题的委托论文和报告，以及以往空气污染影响评估的例子，为环境影响评估计划提出了一套共识建议。这些建议指出，需要收集数据，鼓励地方利益相关者支持在空气污染控制方面取得持续进展。还指出了仅使用当地数据进行分析的局限性。为了改进当地对空气污染对健康影响的估计，建议采用从其他证据中“借鉴力量”的方法。建议采取循序渐进的办法来执行这些方法。与会者强调了通报当地健康影响评估中的不确定性的重要性和困难，以及开展健康影响评估的不同机构之间需要协调。
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention established the Environmental Public Health Tracking (EPHT) program to support state and local projects that characterize the impact of the environment on health. The projects involve compiling, linking, analyzing, and disseminating environmental and health surveillance information, thereby engaging stakeholders and guiding actions to improve public health. One of the EPHT objectives is to track the public health impact of ambient air pollution with analyses that are timely and relevant to state and local stakeholders. To address methodological issues relevant to this objective, in January 2008, government officials and researchers from the USA, Canada, and Europe gathered in Baltimore, Maryland for a 2-day workshop. Using commissioned papers and presentations on key methodological issues as well as examples of previous air pollution impact assessments, work group discussions produced a set of consensus recommendations for the EPHT program. These recommendations noted the need for data that will encourage local stakeholders to support continued progress in air pollution control. The limitations of using only local data for analyses were also noted. To improve local estimates of air pollution health impacts, methods were recommended that “borrow strength” from other evidence. An incremental approach to implementing such methods was recommended. The importance and difficulty of communicating uncertainties in local health impact assessments was emphasized, as was the need for coordination among different agencies conducting health impact assessments.
