CDC Environmental Justice Index Workshop

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (CDC/ATSDR) developed the CDC environmental justice tool in collaboration with the Department of Health and Human Services' Office of Environmental Justice.The Environmental Justice Index (EJI) is the first national, place-based tool designed to measure the cumulative impact of environmental burdens through the lens of human health and health equity. The EJI aims to provide a single score for each community, enabling public health officials to identify and map areas most at risk of health impacts due to environmental burdens. The tool includes data for every census tract and county in the United States, and it is built around three key domains: environmental burden, socioeconomic vulnerability, and health vulnerability. By identifying and characterizing the cumulative effects of environmental, social, and health conditions, the EJI offers a comprehensive view of the challenges facing communities across the country. In this workshop, we will: Explore the domains and indicators of the EJI and learn how to navigate the tool. Utilize the tool to gain a deeper understanding of how various environmental hazards affect vulnerable populations and communities. Interpret and analyze the composite Environmental Justice Scores, as well as domain and indicator scores, at both the census tract and county levels. Apply the tool to address environmental justice issues at local, state, and regional levels. Develop the ability to identify patterns of vulnerability and pinpoint target areas for resource allocation and intervention.
