Among the many issues that directly concern local and regional elected officials, the field of environmental health and its accompanying responsibilities are often the most difficult to understand. To improve their knowledge and develop training in this field, the Rhône-Alpes Regional Council, ARS Rhône-Alpes and DREAL Rhône-Alpes supported a pilot program to educate elected officials, developed and implemented by the Léon Bérard Regional Cancer Centre and the Environmental Health Network association. It was conducted in two parts: 1) a study to better understand stakeholders’ expectations and needs, based on 24 individual interviews, and an anonymous self-administered questionnaire sent to a sample of 338 elected officials in the Rhône-Alpes region, drawn from the list of 3379 in the region; 2) developing and conducting a pilot training day. The results highlighted a marked interest among these elected officials in environmental health and confirmed their need for training: they feel insufficiently informed about it (70%), do not know the regional environmental health action plan (almost 100%), feel very concerned with the topic (82%), but consider that it is inadequately considered in local politics (79%). This pilot study provides additional arguments and proposals to develop training in environmental health for elected officials; they are key political decision-makers and are in close contact with the public.
