RSI experience in Public health
RSI has been involved in many projects that have taken a public health approach to the analysis of an issue. For example, a project on developing an environmental public health approach to chemicals management involved a discussion paper for a workshop, and a set of case studies applying the approach to ovarian cancer, childhood cognitive impacts, chronic kidney disease and hypertension. In a project on comorbidities that increase the risk of severe outcomes from Covid-19, RSI summarized the way that environmental determinants are incorporated into population health risk evaluation, and identified a range of interventions to respond to environmentally me health conditions and inequities that are related to severe outcomes from Covid-19.
