Project History

The Prescriptions for Prevention project was originally designed as a partnership between the Pediatric Environmental Health Specialty Units (PEHSU) and National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) P30 centers of federal regions 1,2,3,5,9. They were created and vetted by local, regional, and national experts in pediatric environmental health, and are consistent with American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) policy. These materials were adapted with permission from PEHSU Region 2 and New York State Children's Environmental Health Centers (NYSCHECK).
