National Minority Health Conference
The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry will
sponsor, and CDC will cosponsor, the National Minority Health
Conference, "Focus on Environmental Contamination," December 4-6,
1990, in Atlanta. Members of the scientific and environmental
communities will address the impact of hazardous substances in
the environment on minority populations.
The conference will focus on 1) demographics--special problems
in determining exposure of minority populations to hazardous
substances in the environment; 2) health perspectives--factors
such as nutritional status, lifestyle, and socioeconomic
influences that may cause exposure to hazardous substances to
affect minority populations disproportionately; and 3) health
communication and health education--effectiveness of public
health messages for minority populations about preventing
exposures to hazardous substances.
Registration information is available from the Conference
Coordinator, Equity Associates, Inc., P.O. Box 296, Knoxville, TN
37901; telephone (615) 688-0999.
