ENVIROSCAN was developed to provide a user-friendly tool that increases North Carolina communities’ awareness of key environmental indicators of concern, key social stressors of concern, and health outcome information such as that related to COVID-19 cases.
It is also designed to be a tool for NC public health researchers to identify communities at greatest public health risk to inform research to action. This project will help researchers understand environmental contributions to COVID-19 and other health outcomes.
Background
