Summary
Theory and evidence suggests rapid physical and social development makes children more sensitive to the impacts of environmental exposures than adults.
Paradoxically, children’s environmental health is under-researched.
My four-year vision is to support efforts to improve the health of children and to narrow child health inequities by co-producing new evidence that will help advocate for spatially targeted prevention initiatives and public policies in Australia.
