Children Matter: Using a Lifecourse Approach to Understanding Safety Assessment Needs for Children
Conflict of Interest
Dr. Faustman has no conflicts of interest
Faustman, 2016
Children Are Not Just Tiny Adults
Introducing Concepts of Life Course Analysis A. Use of Risk Assessment Frameworks Across Life Stage B. Building upon Social Ecological Models of Development ‒ How do we organize our data across lifestage? ‒ How do we analyze our data across lifestage? ‒ Example from out EPA-NIEHS funded Children’s Health Centers
Importance of Community Based Participatory Research (CBPR) Need for Temporal Assessment and Evaluation to identify exposures and
response and identifying effectiveness of interventions.
Next steps for Life Course Models

Risk Assessment Approaches
NOAEL-No Observed Adverse Effect Level Exposure level at which there are no statistically or
biologically significant increases in observed adverse effects between exposed population and control population.
BMD-Benchmark Dose Modeling of the dose response for adverse
endpoints and identification of effect levels. For example identification of the dose that results in a 10% change and the 95% confidence limit on that dose

Multiple, Interacting Influences Affect Children’s Health including Chemical and Non-Chemical Stressors
Source: Children’s Health, Nation’s Health, IOM report, 2004
A New Life Course Based Model of Children’s Health and Its Influences
• Importance of early exposures • Complexity of factors affecting development • Complexity of Environmental Exposures • Need to consider these across multiple stages of
development and at difference levels of assessment • Need for framework for evaluating risks • Need for Life Course Frameworks for incorporating
both chemical and non-chemical stressors
