Identifying the environmental causes of disease

Publication Details:

In 2006 the Academy of Medical Sciences established a working group on research into the environmental causes of disease. Its objective was to address increasing scepticism amongst professionals and members of the public that had arisen when claims from one such study were so soon reversed by those of another.

The final report of the working group sets out five key recommendations and offers guidelines for the wide range of stakeholders involved in generating, communicating and translating research into the environmental causes of disease into policy and practice.
