A Story of Health eBook and Continuing Education course was developed by the Western States PEHSU in collaboration with the federal Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, Commonweal, the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment, California EPA, and the Science and Environmental Health Network. This peer-reviewed, multimedia resource was designed to harness the power of storytelling to increase environmental health literacy. Each chapter clearly explains the multiple factors that influence our health across the lifespan - the natural, built, chemical, food, economic, and social environments - and how they interact with genetics and each other.
