Structured Assessment for Endocrine Disruptor Exposure.
EDES is an open-access family of clinical screening tools designed to help healthcare professionals identify and discuss meaningful endocrine-disruptor exposure with their patients — across all life stages.
Clinical Screening Tools
Three tools. One framework.
Designed for real clinical conversations.
The Assessment Gap in Endocrine Health
Environmental endocrine disruptors are a recognised concern in clinical and public-health science. The evidence base linking common chemical exposures to hormonal disruption, developmental outcomes, fertility, and metabolic health continues to grow.
Yet in everyday clinical settings, there is rarely a structured framework to help clinicians identify which exposures are most relevant for a given patient, or to guide a practical, non-alarmist conversation about reducing risk.
EDES was developed to close that gap — providing a consistent, evidence-informed structure for exposure assessment that can be used in real consultations, without requiring specialist training.
Evidence-informed
Each exposure domain is selected based on strength of association and real-world clinical relevance.
Practical and time-respecting
Designed to fit within a standard consultation. No lengthy questionnaires or specialist equipment required.
Open and non-commercial
All EDES tools are freely available under a Creative Commons licence for clinical, educational, and public-health use.
Three Steps
Select the right tool
Choose the EDES screen that matches your patient’s life stage or clinical context.
Work through the domains
Review each exposure domain with your patient. Flag areas of concern for further discussion.
Apply the interpretation guide
Use the built-in scoring logic to prioritise follow-up, counselling, and any relevant referrals.
