Focused on the relationship between human health and the environment, environmental health helps us understand how the air, water, food, substances, and places we interact with can affect our health. 

In this webinar, participants will learn how to use PubMed to find environmental health research. An overview of the topic and strategies for identifying useful resources will be provided, as well as a demonstration of an environmental health-related literature search.

Objectives:

• Define environmental health and identify possible environmental health exposures
• Summarize environmental health related resources and features within PubMed
• Use the PECO framework to develop a research question
• Select and apply relevant MeSH terms to create a search query
