This summer school explores the critical link between the urban sound environment and health, including how the short term physiological and psychological effects of sound can lead to chronic diseases. Participants will gain insights into spatial planning and noise mapping, health risk assessment, interpreting epidemiological study findings, the difference between association and causation, and how to convert health risks into economic costs. In a practical session we will explore how these studies can be translated into policies and inform decisions at a local level. By the end, you’ll leave with strategies to enhance the impact of your research and a deeper understanding of the role of environmental sound in urban health.

Organizer: Laura Estévez-Mauriz and Martin Röösli
Key trainers: Martin Röösli, Benjamin Fenech, Efstathios Margaritis, Laura Estévez-Mauriz
