%T School Indoor Environmental Quality Assessments and Interventions: Benefits of Effective Partnerships in California
%1 <p>1.3</p>
%X <p>Public, private, government, and university stakeholders have focused increasing attention on children's  environmental health.  Priority areas include healthy school environments; susceptibilities of children to  environmental factors and associated illness; and, understanding exposure to biological, chemical, and  physical agents.  As multidisciplinary teams, we have conducted studies and intervention demonstrations in  California public schools.  A common theme among them was a "partnership," the collaboration between  stakeholders from the aforementioned sectors.  Federal funding and local bond measures for planning,  maintenance, and modernization of school facilities have recently been authorized.  Therefore, beneficial  "partnerships" should be established to conduct needed IEQ, environmental health, and productivity  research, development and demonstration.  This field action report describes benefits for stakeholders and  five strategies for future effective collaborations.</p>
