Core E: Community Outreach Core

社区外展核心：部落-大学合作解决部落暴露于多环芳烃和 改善社区卫生状况。 社区外展核心的目标是将从我们的SBRP获得的知识应用于更好地 了解与乌马提拉印第安人保留地接触多环芳烃相关的健康风险，并协助 与部落伙伴一起进行人力能力建设。这将通过一个合作项目来实现，该项目 包括乌马提拉印第安人保留地邦联部落、部落机构、部落和 大学调查人员和部落社区成员。CTUIR和许多其他美国部落是 从事可能导致疾病风险增加的传统和文化习俗 传统烟熏食品中的多环芳烃暴露、传统吸烟食品中的空气暴露以及环境 由于空气污染。部落成员不能放弃他们的文化和宗教，也不能有序地离开家园 以避免污染。因此，对他们来说，培养更好地理解 这些接触的性质，并从事文化的发展和交流 适当和实用的降低风险战略。外联核心的具体目标是：1) 建立和召集一个代表部落和政府机构的跨学科咨询小组，以及 其他成员将在部落文化生活方式和文化上适当的风险方面增加额外的专业知识 减少措施；2)与乌马提拉部落伙伴进行人力能力建设，并确定 更好地评估与其传统和文化相关的特定多环芳烃暴露途径的机会 3)制定文化上适当的减少风险的方法和外联战略，以提供 改善健康的最佳机会。这个外展核心建立在部落内部的力量和资源之上 并将在项目的所有阶段促进建立合作、平等的伙伴关系。直接 将与CTUIR科学和工程部一起开展能力建设活动，以及 将由一个代表部落实体的跨学科咨询小组通报。演变的方法 从这个核心将作为一个模型，以帮助其他部落社区评估他们的PAH暴露和 设计保护公众健康的降低风险战略。

Community Outreach Core: Tribal-University Collaboration to Address Tribal Exposures to PAHs and Improve Community Health. The goal of the Community Outreach Core is to apply the knowledge gained from our SBRP to better understand health risks associated with PAH exposure on the Umatilla Indian Reservation and to assist in human capacity building with Tribal partners. This will be accomplished through a collaborative project that includes the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation (CTUIR) Tribal agencies, Tribal and University investigators, and Tribal community members. The CTUIR and many other U.S. Tribes are engaged in traditional and cultural practices that may result in increased risk of disease due to cumulative PAH exposures from traditionally-smoked foods, air exposure from traditional smoking of foods, and ambient air pollution. Tribal members cannot give up their culture and religion or move from their homelands in order to avoid contaminants. Thus, it is critically important for them to develop the capacity to better understand the nature of these exposures, and to be engaged in the development and communication of culturally appropriate and practical risk reduction strategies. The specific aims of the Outreach Core are to: 1) establish and convene an interdisciplinary advisory group representing Tribal and government agencies, and other members who will add additional expertise in tribal cultural lifestyles and culturally-appropriate risk reduction measures; 2) engage in human capacity building with the Umatilla Tribal partners and identify opportunities to better assess PAH exposure pathways specific and relevant to their traditional and cultural practices; 3) develop culturally appropriate risk reduction approaches and outreach strategies that offer the best opportunity for improved health. This Outreach Core builds on strengths and resources within the Tribal community, and will facilitative a collaborative, equitable partnership in all phases of the project. Direct capacity building activities will be carried out with the CTUIR Department of Science and Engineering, and will be informed by an interdisciplinary advisory group representing tribal entities. The approach that evolves from this Core will serve as a model to help other Tribal communities evaluate their PAH exposures and design risk reduction strategies that are protective of public health.
