NIEHS赞助的阿巴拉契亚健康和福祉社区论坛在肯塔基州东部举行，将不同的社区成员聚集在一起，交流和建立更好的协调努力，以改善健康和解决区域环境问题。两个小时的论坛讨论就社区成员的需求和利益提供了双向反馈。社区成员最关心的问题包括肥胖及肥胖相关疾病和环境污染。健康的生活方式被确定为保护健康免受与环境污染有关的潜在不利健康影响的药物的一部分。这项研究强调了与阿巴拉契亚社区围绕与健康和环境污染有关的主题进行接触的机会。
The NIEHS-sponsored Appalachian Health & Well-Being Community Forum held in Eastern Kentucky brought various community members together to communicate and establish better coordination of efforts to improve health and address regional environmental issues. The two-hour forum discussion provided bi-directional feedback about the needs and interests of community members. Top concerns of community members included obesity and obesity-related diseases and environmental pollution. Healthful lifestyles were identified as part of the remedy to protect health from potential adverse health effects associated with environmental pollution. This study highlights opportunities to engage with Appalachian communities around topics related to health and environmental pollution.
