社区参与核心（CEC）：摘要 社区参与核心（CEC）支持CEET的使命，让利益相关者参与， 环境健康问题并合作解决这些问题。翻译正在进行的中心环境 向社区利益相关者提供健康研究，并从以下方面交流环境健康研究需求： 社区利益相关者回到CEET调查人员是由CEC的强有力的合作， 社区利益攸关方包括三个主要受众：（a）目标社区;（B）保健 （c）政策和决策者。通过我们的“目标社区模型”，我们首先了解 社区问题的范围，然后解决环境健康问题，而不强加任何 外部议程。我们的区域重点是后工业化城市（如费城）的老化基础设施 以及宾夕法尼亚州周边的乡村社区在我们的目标社区，我们专注于识别 包括儿童、老年人和弱势群体在内的弱势群体， (PPH)接近。CEC积极促进社区可持续发展研究（CER）和基于社区的 参考研究（CBPR）。CEC的利益相关者咨询委员会由CEET成员组成， 社区利益相关者优先考虑研究问题，重点关注我们的CEET的主题领域，我们 有相当的专业知识，空气污染和肺部健康，环境暴露和癌症，窗口- 易感性和环境神经科学。研究问题经常被带到综合健康 Sciences Facility Core用于研究设计输入。我们的目标社区模型允许全面的 参与加强环境卫生信息的交流，以改善公众健康。我们 通过向政策制定者和决策者提供科学知识， 卫生政策。因此，我们推动了费城和兰开斯特的立法改革， 儿童铅暴露。我们积极翻译和传播研究信息，通过出版物， 介绍，以确保科学家，医疗和卫生保健专业人员有最新的研究 信息.我们向当地和全国观众提供研究信息。我们的CEC利用多个 定期进行定向参与，以扩大我们赠款资金的影响并促进积极合作， 改善健康成果。通过与其他CEC的合作，我们设计了创新的社区 参与工具，并致力于具有全国范围和影响的项目。

COMMUNIITY ENGAGEMENT CORE (CEC): ABSTRACT The Community Engagement Core (CEC) supports the mission of the CEET by engaging stakeholders to identify environmental health problems and address them collaboratively. Translation of ongoing Center environmental health research to community stakeholders and communication of environmental health research needs from community stakeholders back to CEET investigators is facilitated by the CEC’s strong collaborations with its community stakeholders comprised of three major audiences: (a) target communities; (b) health care professionals; and (c) policy and decision makers. Through our “Target Community Model” we first learn about the spectrum of community problems and then address environmental health problems without imposing any external agenda. Our regional focus is on the aging infrastructure of post-industrialized cities e.g. Philadelphia and its surrounding rural communities in Pennsylvania. In our target communities we focus on identifying vulnerable populations including children, the elderly and the disadvantaged to enable Precision Public Health (PPH) approaches. The CEC actively facilitates Community Engaged Research (CER) and Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR). The CEC’s Stakeholder Advisory Board composed of CEET members and community stakeholders prioritize research questions with a focus on our CEET’s thematic areas in which we have considerable expertise, Air Pollution & Lung Health, Environmental Exposures & Cancer, Windows-of- Susceptibility and Environmental Neuroscience. Research questions are often taken to the Integrative Health Sciences Facility Core for input on study design. Our Target Communities Model allows for comprehensive engagement to enhance the communication of environmental health information to improve public health. We seek out and engage policy and decision makers by providing them with science to support improved public health policy. As a result, we have promoted legislative changes in Philadelphia and Lancaster that will protect children from lead exposure. We actively translate and disseminate research information through publication and presentation to ensure that scientists, medical and health care professionals have the most current research information. We have presented research information to local and national audiences. Our CEC leverages multi- directional engagement regularly to expand the impact of our grant funding and promote active collaboration for improved health outcomes. Through collaborations with other CEC’s, we have designed innovative community engagement tools and worked on projects with national scope and impact.
