本文探讨了社区利益相关者参与解决交通相关空气污染影响的策略。有色人种社区和低收入社区受到环境威胁的不成比例的影响，包括主要道路产生的排放。定性工具的案例研究设计，以探讨社区层面的因素如何在两个马萨诸塞州社区，城市的萨默维尔和波士顿的唐人街附近，影响翻译的研究转化为实践，以解决陷阱暴露。在交互式系统框架（ISF）的指导下，我们利用了三个数据源：关键线人访谈，观察和文件审查。使用了专题分析。研究结果表明，政治历史在塑造社区行动中发挥着重要作用。在萨默维尔，社区组织者与市政府和州政府官员合作，采取社区发展战略吸引居民参与。相比之下，唐人街社区活动家专注于居民的直接问题，包括住房和居民流离失所，导致更多的反对当地市政领导。ISF有助于告知团队有关将研究转化为实践所需的系统和结构的想法。然而，尽管市政利益攸关方越来越同情并意识到TRAP的健康影响，但在如何将一些拟议的TRAP相关政策付诸实践方面，没有地方立法或监管先例。因此，我们发现将ISF与社区组织框架配对可能是一种有用的方法，用于检查科学，社区参与和环境研究翻译之间的动态关系。社会工作者和公共卫生专业人员可以通过探索社区的政治和社会背景，并努力连接研究和社区行动，来促进TRAP暴露缓解。补充信息随附于10.1186/s12889-020-09751-w。
This paper explores strategies to engage community stakeholders in efforts to address the effects of traffic-related air pollution (TRAP). Communities of color and low-income communities are disproportionately impacted by environmental threats including emissions generated by major roadways. Qualitative instrumental case study design was employed to examine how community-level factors in two Massachusetts communities, the City of Somerville and Boston’s Chinatown neighborhood, influence the translation of research into practice to address TRAP exposure. Guided by the Interactive Systems Framework (ISF), we drew on three data sources: key informant interviews, observations and document reviews. Thematic analysis was used. Findings indicate political history plays a significant role in shaping community action. In Somerville, community organizers worked with city and state officials, and embraced community development strategies to engage residents. In contrast, Chinatown community activists focused on immediate resident concerns including housing and resident displacement resulting in more opposition to local municipal leadership. The ISF was helpful in informing the team’s thinking related to systems and structures needed to translate research to practice. However, although municipal stakeholders are increasingly sympathetic to and aware of the health impacts of TRAP, there was not a local legislative or regulatory precedent on how to move some of the proposed TRAP-related policies into practice. As such, we found that pairing the ISF with a community organizing framework may serve as a useful approach for examining the dynamic relationship between science, community engagement and environmental research translation. Social workers and public health professionals can advance TRAP exposure mitigation by exploring the political and social context of communities and working to bridge research and community action.
