National Conversation on Public Health and Chemical Exposures

Components of the Conversation

NCEH/ATSDR recognizes that a successful national dialogue on public health and chemical exposures will require participation by a broad range of stakeholders. NCEH/ATSDR is partnering with RESOLVE, a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing the effective use of consensus building in public decision making, the American Public Health Association (APHA), the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO), and the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) and looks forward to involving many interested individuals and organizations throughout the process.

Participants can share their ideas and feedback in the following ways:

Leadership Council

Leadership Council RESOLVE is uniting a Leadership Council [PDF, 26 KB] of key environmental and public health leaders to help guide the project.

Work Groups

Work groups

RESOLVE and NCEH/ATSDR have convened six work groups to research and make recommendations on cross-cutting public health and chemical exposure issues. Final work group reports will be submitted to the project Leadership Council for inclusion in a final action agenda.

Web-based Forums

Web-based forums We invite the public to participate in the National Conversation on the Internet. We plan to use web-based forums to keep you informed and to obtain your valuable input. The information you provide as an online forum participant will be shared with project work groups.

Face-to-Face Public Meetings

Face-to-Face MeetingsNational Conversation partners will organize meetings in the early part of this project to gain input from stakeholders. We will also hold sessions later in the process to gain critical feedback on the draft action agenda. In addition, community meetings will be convened using the community conversation toolkit.

Community Conversation Toolkit

Public meeting During this project, we will invite interested members of the public to host their own conversations about public health and chemical exposures. The Community Conversation Toolkit will provide background information on the project and major public health and chemical exposure issues, guidelines for holding community conversations, a set of discussion questions, and a method for sending ideas back to the National Conversation project team and work groups.
