DPSEEA model
From Opasnet
Template:Release DPSEEA
The model describes six components of the environment-health chain:
- Driving forces — that act as root causes for, and influences upon, the processes of concern
- Pressures on the environment — that arise as a result of these root causes
- State — changes to the environment as a consequence of these pressures
- Exposures — that take place when humans are exposed to these changed environmental conditions
- Effects — adverse impacts on health due to these exposures
- Actions — policy and other interventions, aimed at reducing or avoiding these adverse health effects
