社区-学术伙伴关系在研究和改善社区和环境健康方面显示出潜力，但直到最近才对其政策影响进行了系统研究。本案例研究突出了以社区为基础的参与性研究(CBPR)伙伴关系的演变、研究、政策过程和结果，该伙伴关系对有关柴油公交车排放和相关环境正义问题的卫生政策产生了不良的多层面影响。西哈莱姆环境行动公司(WE ACT)和哥伦比亚大学儿童环境健康中心之间的合作伙伴关系采用多方法案例研究方法进行了探索。纽约市公共汽车车队改用清洁柴油，以及环境保护局在哈莱姆区和其他“热点地区”安装永久性空气监测仪，这些都是该伙伴关系的研究和政策工作得到大量赞扬的成果。对其他有意利用CBPR促进健康公共政策的城市社区-学术伙伴关系的经验教训也进行了讨论。
Community-academic partnerships have demonstrated potential for studying and improving community and environmental health, but only recently have their policy impacts been systematically studied. This case study highlights the evolution, research, and policy processes and outcomes of a community based participatory research (CBPR) partnership that has bad multilevel impacts on health policy concerning diesel bus emissions and related environmental justice issues. The partnership between West Harlem Environmental ACTion, Inc. (WE ACT) and the Columbia University Center for Children's Environmental Health was explored using a multimethod case study approach. The conversion of New York City's bus fleet to clean diesel and the installation by the EPA of permanent air monitors in Harlem and other "hot spots" were among the outcomes for which the partnership's research and policy work was given substantial credit. Lessons for other urban community-academic partnerships interested in using CBPR to promote healthy public policy are discussed.
