UAB Sanitation Health Study

This course is being offered as part of a CDC-funded public health promotion project to expand surveillance for sanitation-related infections across West Central Alabama, educate both healthcare workers and the public regarding sanitation-related health concerns and link residents to resources to address inadequate home sanitation systems. This project is a collaborative effort between UAB, the West Central Alabama Area Health Education Center (AHEC), the Rural Health Medical Program, Inc. (RHMP), the Alabama Department of Public Health (ADPH), and healthcare providers providing health services for at-risk communities. Working with these community organizations and residents in the affected communities to ensure all stakeholders are involved in project planning and implementation is vital to the success of this project.
