We live, work, and play in our built environments—our neighborhoods, homes, businesses, workplaces, and streets—and the shape of the built environment is vitally important to our health. Our environments can promote health with facilities like accessible sidewalks, appealing parks, and green spaces, and can damage health when marred by pollution or poor water quality. While links between physical health and the built environment are clear, it is becoming increasingly apparent that the built environment can also affect the psychological health of women and children. This MCHB DataSpeak training will explore current research into how the built environment can influence reproductive health, child development, and mental health outcomes.
DataSpeak uses a number of different technologies. To get the most out of the information, please review the technical requirements at http://hrsa.gov/archive/mchb/dataspeak/techreq/index.html
