title: Talking with patients about environmental health: the "I talk" mnemonic.
abstract: We conducted a survey regarding engagement in environmental health in an urban community. Although many people were concerned that environmental pollution affects health, talking about this with healthcare providers was an infrequent action. We propose a mnemonic--"I talk"--to guide nurses in inviting discussion about environment and health.
