This book is a compilation of eight chapters concerning the 17th annual Break the Cycle program.  The book begins with a general overview of the program and presents some recent data.The second chapter examines the outcomes of the Break the Cycle program from the perspective of one of its long-term mentors. The problems and impacts in Latin American communities are discussed in Chapter Three. In Chapter Four, the authors explain their findings from their systematic evaluation of studies of children’s blood Pb in the United States published since 2005. The authors conducted a research in Chapter Five to investigate the impact of consuming unfiltered private well water on children’s lead exposure. The authors’ purpose in Chapter Six was to identify the issues and health priorities of their patient group at Boston Children’s Hospital’s Pediatric Environmental Health Center (PEHC) to help guide visits. The goal of Chapter Seven was to determine if changes in a maternal education between birth and 15 years of age moderated the relationship between maternal health conditions and positive child health at age 15 years. The final chapter presents the outcomes of a study conducted in a pregnancy cohort in New York City, in which individuals were examined for exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons during the third trimester of pregnancy.
