Full course description

Description

This training examines the health disparities associated with household air pollution, focusing on its impact on lung health and maternal-child health outcomes. Key findings from longitudinal and intervention studies, such as the relationship between early lung function and COPD risk and the evaluation of cooking stove interventions in Ghana, are explored.

Target Audience

Public health professionals, environmental researchers, healthcare providers, and policymakers interested in addressing health inequities caused by household air pollution.

Learning Outcomes

  1. Understand the long-term effects of early lung function on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) risk.
  2. Identify household air pollution as a critical non-genetic factor in reduced lung health.
  3. Evaluate the effectiveness of cooking stove interventions in reducing exposure to household air pollution.
  4. Discuss the broader health implications of household air pollution on vulnerable populations, particularly pregnant women and children.
