Responding to community concerns around multiple cases of childhood leukemia in Monroe County, public health graduate students created a logic model to understand the problem and identify focus areas that are important to the community, including a general lack of environmental surveillance. The group recommends developing a system for risk assessment, using Wisconsin public data sources, and examining environmental hazard maps to identify, research, and intervene on current and future environmental hazards.
