我们提出了新颖的共同创建的跨学科研究，利用艺术和人文方法来探索肯尼亚内罗毕非正式定居点（穆库鲁）的空气污染。空气污染是一个有据可查的重大人类健康问题，但尽管采取了许多旨在改善健康的减少空气污染的干预措施，但这些干预措施往往无效。这通常是因为他们没有考虑到当地知识、文化习俗和目标接收者的优先事项。因此，设计解决方案需要与利益相关者深入探讨相关问题。研究人员与当地居民合作，开发了一系列方法来探索对空气污染的理解，包括访谈、讲故事、参与式绘图和戏剧。我们共同发现了对空气污染的不同定义，对谁负责制定解决方案的不同看法，以及总体上认为空气污染不能与定居点居民面临的其他问题分开看待的观点。使用的方法还使我们能够与广大受众就该主题进行交流。虽然我们承认这种研究方法比传统方法更耗时，但我们敦促其他希望解决多因素问题（例如空气污染）的研究人员使用定性、参与性和创造性方法的混合体，与广泛的利益相关者进行接触，以获得原本可能不会出现的新的和意想不到的理解。
We present novel co-created transdisciplinary research that uses arts and humanities methods to explore air pollution in an informal settlement (Mukuru) in Nairobi, Kenya. Air pollution is a well-documented major human health issue, but despite many air pollution reduction interventions designed to improve health, these are frequently ineffective. Often this is because they fail to account for local knowledge, cultural practices and priorities of the intended recipients. Designing solutions therefore requires in-depth exploration of relevant issues with stakeholders. Researchers worked collaboratively with local residents to develop a range of methods to explore understandings of air pollution including interviews, storytelling, participatory mapping and theatre. Together, we uncovered contrasting definitions of air pollution, differing perceptions of who was responsible for enacting solutions, and overall a view that air pollution cannot be seen in isolation from the other issues faced by settlement residents. The methods used also allowed us to communicate about the topic with a wide audience. While we acknowledge that this research approach is more time consuming than traditional approaches, we urge other researchers wishing to address multifactorial problems, such as air pollution to use a mixture of qualitative, participatory and creative methods to engage with a wide range of stakeholders to elicit new and unexpected understandings that may not otherwise emerge.
