Community Engagement Core

项目摘要-社区参与核心 新墨西哥州的社区历来承担着暴露在环境中的不平等负担 空气、水和土壤中的有毒物质。当地社区贫困率高，机会有限 医疗保健和世代创伤加剧了这些环境暴露的影响。 美洲原住民社区在分享和解决环境健康问题方面走在了前面 关注与新墨西哥州大学研究人员的伙伴关系，基于文化相关性、多方向 将环境健康科学(EHS)响应提升到最紧迫的通信 当地社区的卫生需求。新墨西哥州综合科学计划的目标 整合环境科学研究(NM-INSPORTS)社区参与核心 (CEC)是1)翻译研究并加强环境沟通和环境 使用以文化为中心的进程进行健康普及；2)增加社区响应的环境 通过与社区利益相关者的多方向沟通进行卫生研究；以及3)招募 社区利益攸关方和研究人员进行沟通和文化培训，以建设能力和 加强社区与学术的伙伴关系。我们将共同创建和实施沟通 多模式外联战略的传播计划，包括印刷、数字和社交媒体 通俗易懂的材料，STEM相关环境健康宣传的视觉艺术，社区 活动和媒体宣传，以弥合沟通差距，并确保有针对性的、多方面的 对新墨西哥州社区有意义的定向有影响力的信息流动。我们将确保NM- 通过多方向的互动激发对社区优先事项的响应和相关性 在研究人员和社区利益攸关方之间。我们会将社区关注的问题传达给 研究人员和促进社区参与的研究。加大社区招生力度。 传播和文化培训方面的利益攸关方和研究人员，以建设能力和提高 社区-学术EH伙伴关系。我们将设计、调整、整合和评估基于证据的 为社区和学术合作伙伴、政策制定者、记者举办文化和交流讲习班 与临床医生建立共同的认识框架，培养牢固的关系 真正的多方向通信所需的。NM-INSPORTES处于领先EH的独特地位 通过利用我们长期的、对文化敏感的合作伙伴关系来参与社区活动 通过融合核心价值观尊重当地居民的文化多样性和历史创伤， 将信念和实践转化为研究计划。我们的长期目标是确保有效、持续的 社区-学术合作伙伴关系，使我们不同的NM社区参与环境健康 接触研究和翻译，包括环境健康知识和风险预防。

PROJECT SUMMARY – Community Engagement Core New Mexico communities have historically borne an unequal burden of exposure to environmental toxicants in the air, water and soil. Local communities experience high rates of poverty, limited access to healthcare and generational trauma that intensify the impact of these environmental exposures. Native American communities have led the way in sharing and addressing environmental health concerns in partnerships with UNM researchers, based on culturally relevant, multi-directional communication that advances environmental health science (EHS) responsiveness to the most urgent health needs of local communities. The aims of the New Mexico Integrative Science Program Incorporating Research in Environmental Sciences (NM-INSPIRES) Community Engagement Core (CEC) are to 1) translate research and enhance environmental communication and environmental health literacy using culturally-centered processes; 2) increase community-responsive environmental health research through multi- directional communication with community stakeholders; and 3) enroll community stakeholders and researchers in communication and cultural training to build capacity and enhance community-academic partnerships. We will co-create and implement communication dissemination plans for multi-modal outreach strategies, including print, digital, and social media materials in plain language, visual arts for STEM-related environmental health messaging, community events, and media advocacy to bridge the communication gap and ensure a well targeted, multi- directional impactful flow of information meaningful to New Mexico communities. We will ensure NM- INSPIRES’ responsiveness and relevance to community priorities through multi-directional interactions among researchers and community stakeholders. We will communicate community concerns to researchers and facilitate community-engaged research. We will increase enrollment of community stakeholders and researchers in communication and cultural training to build capacity and enhance community-academic EH partnerships. We will design, adapt, integrate and evaluate evidence-based cultural and communication workshops for community and academic partners, policymakers, journalists and clinicians to build a common framework of understanding and foster the strong relationships needed for true multi-directional communications. NM-INSPIRES is uniquely positioned to lead EH community engagement by drawing on our long-standing, culturally sensitive partnerships that are respectful of the cultural diversity and historical trauma of local residents by integrating core values, beliefs and practices into research programs. Our long-term goal is to secure an effective, ongoing community-academic partnership that engages our diverse NM communities in environmental health exposure research and translation, including environmental health literacy and risk prevention.
