Article Abstract
Protecting children's health from the effects of environmental contamination is a public health priority. In recent years, particular care has been devoted in Italy to the study of the relationship between environmental pollutants and health during infancy. The SENTIERI Project has called attention to increases in infant mortality in National Priority Contaminated Sites (NPCSs). SENTIERI KIDS provides a blueprint for the establishment of a task force charged with establishing multi and inter-disciplinary cooperation between central and regional institutions on the subject of children's health in contaminated sites. SENTIERI KIDS introduces a multiple outcome analytical model based on updated health outcomes (mortality, cancer incidence, hospital discharges) in order to establish a permanent observation system to monitor the state of health of infants residing in contaminated areas. This will pave the way for more in-depth epidemiological enquiries on an individual basis, and support the establishment and continued monitoring of primary prevention projects. Particular attention is devoted to issues of information and communication.
