The Center for Applied Environmental Public Health (CAEPH) uses a multidisciplinary approach to assess the impact of environmental agents on human health. CAEPH researchers utilize computing technology as a tool to analyze data and to assess the health impact of environmental contaminants. Areas of study include: community-based prevention and intervention research methodology; childhood lead poisoning; application of surveillance methodology and data analysis to environmental health issues; the Mississippi River Water Quality Database and development of technology-mediated teaching methods for environmental health education. CAEPH leads the Academic Partner of Excellence in Environmental Public Health Tracking, a CDC funded national initiative.
