Appendix A Workshop Agenda ROLE OF ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICANTS IN PRETERM BIRTH Sponsored by Roundtable on Environmental Health Sciences, Research, and Medicine National Academy of Sciences Auditorium 2101 Constitution Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. October 2–3, 2001 Workshop Goals: Summarize clinical and epidemiological aspects of prematurity. Create understanding that exposures to environmental chemicals can alter gestation length. Summarize cellular, molecular, and genetic aspects of control of preterm delivery. Recognize that current in vivo and in vitro toxicological testing models are inadequately designed to capture the data that chemicals influence gestation length. Given that preterm delivery is a substantial public health concern, develop toxicological approaches to improve understanding of chemical impacts on gestational length. Use a multidisciplinary approach, including epidemiology, molecular, and so forth to better understand the mechanism underlying gestational length.
