2017 Children's Environmental Health Research Conference: New Challenges

项目概要/摘要- 2017年儿童环境健康研究 会议：新的挑战 在过去的30-40年里， 各种不利的健康状况和神经发育问题，如哮喘， 自闭症谱系障碍和肥胖儿童在美国（美国）[4、5、 6、7]。这种增加往往不能仅仅用遗传学来解释。环境健康 研究对于揭示许多这些病症的复杂病因是至关重要的， 特别是因为研究结果可以为预防工作提供信息。 很少有专门针对儿童环境问题的全国性集会， 研究人员可以与该领域的其他人分享他们的发现和网络， 儿童环境;健康网络（CEHN）研究会议是唯一的 这种会议在美国，故意编织研究翻译整个 程序. CEHN儿科会议于2012年发起，大约每两年举办一次 研究会议为儿童环境健康社区提供了 有机会见面，综合研究成果，促进合作，指导新的 研究人员，发起新的研究努力，并采取初步措施， 研究转化为行动。这些会议提供了一种关键的催化剂， 毫无疑问，这将继续推动这一研究领域朝着改善的目标前进。 预防战略和儿童健康保护。 “2017儿童环境健康研究大会：新挑战”将在 将于2017年4月5日至7日在华盛顿的汉密尔顿皇冠假日酒店举行。

Project Summary/Abstract – 2017 Children's Environmental Health Research Conference: New Challenges Over the past 30-40 years, there has been an alarming increase in the incidence of various adverse health conditions and neurodevelopmental problems, such as asthma, autism spectrum disorder, and obesity among children in the United States (U.S.) [4, 5, 6, 7]. The increases often cannot be explained by genetics alone. Environmental health research is vital to unraveling the complex etiology of many of these conditions, especially as research findings can inform prevention efforts. There are very few national-scale gatherings that are specific to children's environmental health for researchers to share their findings and network with others in the field, and the Children's Environmental; Health Network (CEHN) Research Conference is the only such conference in the U.S. that intentionally weaves research translation throughout the program. Initiated in 2012, and held roughly every other year, the CEHN Pediatric Research Conference provides the children's environmental health community the opportunity to meet, synthesize research findings, foster collaborations, mentor new investigators, initiate new research endeavors, and take initial steps towards moving research into action. These conferences provide a critical catalyst that has helped and will undoubtedly continue to drive this field of research toward the goal of improved prevention strategies and child health protection. The “2017 Children's Environmental Health Research Conference: New Challenges” will be held April 5-7, 2017 at the Hamilton Crowne Plaza in Washington, DC.
