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 改善社区健康。 社区外展核心的目标是将我们从SBRP中获得的知识应用于更好的 了解乌马蒂拉印第安人保留地与PAH暴露相关的健康风险，并协助 与部落合作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， 包括乌马蒂拉印第安人保留地联合部落（CTUIR）部落机构、部落和 大学调查员和部落社区成员CTUIR和许多其他美国部落 从事传统和文化习俗，可能导致疾病的风险增加， 传统熏制食品中的PAH暴露，传统熏制食品中的空气暴露，以及环境 大气污染.部落成员不能放弃他们的文化和宗教，也不能为了生存而离开家园 以避免污染物。因此，培养他们更好地了解 这些接触的性质，并参与文化的发展和交流， 适当和切实可行的减少风险战略。外联核心的具体目标是： 建立并召集一个代表部落和政府机构的跨学科咨询小组， 其他成员将增加部落文化生活方式和文化适当风险方面的额外专业知识 减少措施; 2）与Umatilla部落合作伙伴一起参与人力资源能力建设，并确定 有机会更好地评估与其传统和文化相关的特定PAH暴露途径 （3）制定文化上适当的减少风险办法和外联战略， 改善健康的最佳机会。这个外展核心建立在部落内部的优势和资源之上 社区，并将在项目的所有阶段促进合作，公平的伙伴关系。直接 能力建设活动将与CTUIR科学和工程系一起开展， 将由一个代表部落实体的跨学科咨询小组提供信息。不断发展的方法 将作为帮助其他部落社区评估其PAH暴露的模型， 设计保护公众健康的减少风险战略。

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.
