1994年，国家环境健康科学研究所（NIEHS）发起了一项计划，以解决在不成比例的环境暴露背景下社区居民、研究人员和卫生保健提供者之间的沟通差距。13年来，NIEHS与环境保护局和国家职业健康与安全研究所一起资助了54个环境正义项目。在这里，我们根据提交给年度受资助者会议的摘要收集的数据，检查所使用的方法和产生的结果。数据突出显示了项目如何实现了提高社区认识和能力的方案目标，并取得了积极的公共卫生和公共政策成果。我们的研究结果强调了社区参与制定有效的、文化敏感的干预措施的重要性，并强调了系统的项目规划和评估的重要性。
In 1994, the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) initiated a program to address communication gaps between community residents, researchers and health care providers in the context of disproportionate environmental exposures. Over 13 years, together with the Environmental Protection Agency and National Institute for Occupational Health and Safety, NIEHS funded 54 environmental justice projects. Here we examine the methods used and outcomes produced based on data gathered from summaries submitted for annual grantees' meetings. Data highlight how projects fulfilled program objectives of improving community awareness and capacity and the positive public health and public policy outcomes achieved. Our findings underscore the importance of community participation in developing effective, culturally sensitive interventions and emphasize the importance of systematic program planning and evaluation.
