DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed collaborative community-driven study is motivated by the concern of the Cincinnati school community including administrators, teachers, public health officials and nurses, parents, and others childhood exposure to traffic-related particles at schools. Traffic-related particles have been shown to exacerbate existing asthma in school-age children. It is unknown, however, the concentrations of these pollutants at schools compared to community background levels. Furthermore, anti-idling campaigns have been conducted with limited success and without measures of environmental or health impact. In order to address the community's concerns and the lack of quantitative data, a new partnership has been formed between environmental health researchers at the University of Cincinnati and community-based organizations including the Cincinnati Public Schools and the Cincinnati Health Department. This partnership will build upon the strengths of each organization to collaboratively accomplish three specific aims: 1) determine if children are exposed to increased levels of traffic-related PM at school compared to ambient levels in the communities where the children reside, 2) develop and implement a community-driven anti-idling campaign aimed at reducing children's exposure to traffic-related air pollution during school hours, and 3) evaluate the effectiveness of the research partnership and anti-idling campaign by assessing the reduction of exposure in schools and the impact on the health of children with asthma who attend these schools. The results of this reciprocal research relationship will guide future public health actions in the Cincinnati community and elsewhere, provide training and education for public health nurses, provide children with asthma and their families with objective health data, engage bus drivers in order to reduce idling, and provide a foundation for future collaborative efforts between University of Cincinnati researchers and community partners. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This collaborative community-driven study is motivated by the concern of the Cincinnati school community including administrators, teachers, public health officials, school nurses, and parents regarding childhood exposure to traffic-related particles at school. This partnership between the University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati Health Department, and the Cincinnati Public Schools will build upon the strengths of each organization to collaboratively determine if children are exposed to increased levels of traffic-related PM at school compared to ambient levels in the communities where the children reside. In addition, a community-driven anti-idling campaign will be developed and implemented with the goal of reducing children's exposure to traffic-related air pollution during school hours. Finally, the effectiveness of the research partnership and anti-idling campaign will be evaluated by assessing the reduction of exposure at schools and the impact on the health of children with asthma.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议的社区合作研究的动机是辛辛那提学校社区的关注，包括管理人员、教师、公共卫生官员和护士、家长和其他儿童在学校接触交通相关颗粒物的问题。研究表明，与交通相关的颗粒物会加剧学龄儿童现有的哮喘。然而，与社区背景水平相比，学校中这些污染物的浓度尚不清楚。此外，反空转运动的成功率有限，而且没有对环境或健康影响进行衡量。为了解决社区的担忧和缺乏定量数据的问题，辛辛那提大学的环境健康研究人员与包括辛辛那提公立学校和辛辛那提卫生局在内的社区组织建立了新的伙伴关系。这一伙伴关系将利用每个组织的优势，共同实现三个具体目标：1) 确定儿童在学校接触到的交通相关颗粒物浓度是否高于儿童居住社区的环境水平；2) 制定和实施社区驱动的反空转运动，旨在减少儿童在上学期间接触与交通相关的空气污染；3) 通过评估研究伙伴关系和反空转运动的有效性 学校中接触哮喘的减少以及对就读这些学校的哮喘儿童健康的影响。这种互惠研究关系的结果将指导辛辛那提社区和其他地方未来的公共卫生行动，为公共卫生护士提供培训和教育，为患有哮喘的儿童及其家人提供客观的健康数据，吸引公交车司机以减少空转，并为辛辛那提大学研究人员和社区合作伙伴之间的未来合作奠定基础。 公共卫生相关性：这项由社区驱动的合作研究的动机是辛辛那提学校社区（包括管理人员、教师、公共卫生官员、学校护士和家长）对儿童在学校接触交通相关颗粒物的担忧。辛辛那提大学、辛辛那提卫生局和辛辛那提公立学校之间的这种伙伴关系将建立在每个组织的优势之上，共同确定与儿童居住社区的环境水平相比，儿童在学校接触到的交通相关颗粒物水平是否有所增加。此外，还将制定和实施一项由社区推动的反空转运动，旨在减少儿童在上学期间接触与交通相关的空气污染。最后，将通过评估学校接触空气的减少以及对哮喘儿童健康的影响来评估研究伙伴关系和反空转运动的有效性。
