美国墨西哥湾沿岸沿着社区深受环境健康威胁的影响，反映了该地区自然和技术灾害的历史，以及持续存在的环境退化和污染问题。密西西比州的越南裔美国人社区容易受到EH威胁，但对他们的风险认知的研究有限。了解风险和责任的概念对于管理EH风险和促进社区复原力非常重要。这项以社区为基础的参与性研究的特点，在沿海密西西比的EH风险，信息来源和责任的越南裔美国人的看法。2016年和2017年，在密西西比的比洛西进行了五个焦点小组的调查，调查对象包括在海鲜行业工作的越南裔美国人（n=24）和18岁以下儿童的母亲（n=25）。与参与者的关注与空气质量，饮用水质量，和2010年深水地平线石油泄漏的调查结果解释使用Boholm的风险的关系理论。不可靠的医疗保健和有限的英语水平限制了参与者对他们的环境健康风险关系采取行动。比洛西的一个社区组织与越南裔美国人合作，在解决这一人群的风险方面发挥着重要作用。
Coastal communities along the U.S. Gulf of Mexico have been profoundly shaped by environmental health (EH) threats, reflecting the region’s history of natural and technological disasters, as well as ongoing issues of environmental degradation and pollution. The Vietnamese American community in the state of Mississippi is vulnerable to EH threats, but there is limited research on their risk perceptions. Understanding perceptions of risk and responsibility is important to manage EH risks and promote community resilience. This community-based participatory research study characterizes Vietnamese American perceptions of EH risks, sources of information, and responsibility in coastal Mississippi. Five focus groups were conducted in 2016 and 2017 in Biloxi, Mississippi with Vietnamese Americans working in the seafood industry (n=24) and mothers of children under the age of 18 (n=25). Findings related to participants’ concerns with air quality, drinking water quality, and the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill are interpreted using Boholm’s relational theory of risk. Unreliable access to healthcare and limited English proficiency constrain participants from acting on their environmental health risk relationships. A community-based organization in Biloxi that works with Vietnamese Americans plays an important role in addressing risk in this population.
