Environmental Epidemiology for Risk Assessment Committee

Mission Statement

The committee’s mission is to engage the epidemiology, exposure, and regulatory communities in discussing what risk assessors need from epidemiology studies to make informed decisions; discuss incentives and barriers to making epidemiology studies better adapted to risk assessment; and develop areas of consensus between risk assessors and epidemiologists, as well as identify a path forward to realize the full potential of epidemiology data in risk assessment.

Working Groups

  • Quantitative Bias Analysis Workshop

    The committee has been preparing a 3-part case study-based workshop, to discuss the use of Quantitative Bias Analysis (QBA) in the evaluation of epidemiological data. The goal of the workshop is to explore how to make QBA more accessible to epidemiologists and risk assessors, and to develop training materials to facilitate its understanding and encourage its use.

  • Quantitative Bias Analysis Manuscript

    A manuscript titled Workshop Report: Quantitative Bias Analysis for Differential Misclassification of Exposure (Recall Bias) in Practice is currently in development. This paper captures the key outcomes of the October workshop, which aimed to introduce the concept of Quantitative Bias Analysis (QBA) and support its practical understanding. The manuscript will detail the methodology used during the workshop, highlight its relevance in addressing recall bias, and demonstrate how QBA can be applied in real-world exposure assessment scenarios. The manuscript is scheduled for submission in 2025.

  • Risk Assessor Survey Manuscript

    In 2023, a survey was developed and deployed among risk assessors in the Americas, Europe and Asia to evaluate the value they place on epidemiological data and identify the needs that should be addressed to better integrate these data into human health risk assessment. The manuscript analyzing the results of the survey is now available:

    Improving the integration of epidemiological data into human health risk assessment: What risk assessors told us they want. Phillips et al., 2024. Global Epidemiology. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gloepi.2024.100167

  • Web platform

    The Committee continues to build a community of practice around the theme of epidemiology and risk assessment via the EpiFoRa web platform and database. The goal is to foster collaboration among epidemiologists, risk assessors, exposure scientists, toxicologists and other experts, and students.

  • Webinar Series

    The webinar series highlights the critical role that epidemiology can play in quantitative risk assessment. Speakers provide insight into how to fully realize the potential of human studies in risk assessment and regulatory decision-making, and they showcase ongoing efforts in this space.

    The Committee is planning a mini-series dedicated to Quantitative Bias Analysis (QBA) to raise awareness about its fundamentals and applications.

  • Past Working Groups

    Funding Focus Group: This group aimed to (1) explore funding mechanisms to better understand funders’ priorities when funding research and (2) obtain insight from funding agencies on what might be needed to increase the impact of epidemiological research on human health risk assessment. View webinars on our YouTube channel here.

    Focus Group Summary: A publication summarizing the outcome of the the five focus group meetings held over the past two years is in development.

Committee Events

This year, the HESI Environmental Epidemiology Committee launched a webinar series to illustrate the critical role epidemiology can play in the field of quantitative risk assessment. Speakers will provide insight on how to best realize the full potential of human studies in risk assessment and public health decision-making and will feature ongoing efforts in this space.
