Proceedings of an HEI Workshop on Further Research to Assess the Health Impacts of Actions Taken to Improve Air Quality

Communication 15, Proceedings of an HEI Workshop on Further Research to Assess the Health Impacts of Actions Taken to Improve Air Quality, summarizes the findings of a workshop held in December 2009 that reviewed the current state of research to evaluate the impact of air quality interventions (also known as accountability or air quality outcomes research). A multidisciplinary group of leading government, science and other stakeholders reviewed studies conducted to date, revisited the original framework for accountability research, and recommended strategies, methods, and targets of opportunity for further research in this important area.
