Why is Access to Information Important in Reducing Inequity?
Access to information is crucial in reducing inequity in toxicology. Communities that are aware of the risks associated with toxic exposures can take steps to protect themselves and advocate for change. However, information is not always equally accessible. Language barriers, limited internet access, and a lack of targeted educational materials can prevent some communities from understanding and addressing the risks they face. Improving access to educational resources and ensuring that information is culturally and linguistically appropriate are vital steps in reducing inequity.
