Community Outreach and Engagement Core (COEC) Abstract The COEC of the Center of Excellence in Environmental Toxicology (CEET) engages communities, health care professionals, decision makers and individuals in a collaborative process to select problems that CEET research teams and its network with other Environmental Health Science Core Centers (EHS CCs) can investigate to provide tools that will eliminate or mitigate adverse public health impacts to vulnerable populations. Our regional focus is on the aging infrastructure of post-industrialized cities and the new and unique challenges of rural communities in Pennsylvania that are undergoing rapid industrialization due to hydraulic fracturing for natural gas. Many of the impacted communities meet the criteria of Environmental Justice Communities and are faced with significant health disparities. The COEC engages these communities through a "Targeted Community Model" in which we learn about community problems first and then tackle environmental health problems. The COEC has a proven track-record in Community-Based Participatory Research (CBRP) and developed a "Community-First Communication Model" in which results from CBPR are disseminated to the affected community first to empower the community to affect change. The COEC has used this model successfully to build translational research teams which utilize the resources of the Integrative Health Sciences Facility Core and its human population exposure group to design studies and develop a communication plan. The mission of the COEC is further accomplished through the following discrete aims: (i) use the Stakeholders Advisory Board to prioritize COEC activities; (ii) use our Targeted Communities model to communicate environmental health (EH) information in a manner that can improve public health; (iii) communicate EH problems experienced by our community audiences to set the research agenda of the CEET; (iv) educate new health care professionals in EHS to build capacity in occupational environmental medicine to serve communities; (v) translate and disseminate research information into public health knowledge; (vi) advance the field of community engagement by the development of innovative models; (vii) create and disseminate new education materials; (ix) collaborate with other COEC's; and (x) evaluate the success of COEC using logic models. The COEC team is led by Dr. Marilyn Howarth who has >25 years' experience as an occupational and environmental health physician and by Mr. Richard Pepino who has >25 years' experience in environmental policy and regulatory science.

社区外展和参与核心（COEC）摘要 环境毒理学卓越中心（CEET）的COEC与社区、卫生保健和环境保护部门合作， 专业人士，决策者和个人在合作过程中选择的问题，CEET 研究团队及其与其他环境健康科学核心中心（EHS CC）的网络可以 调查提供消除或减轻对弱势群体不利的公共卫生影响的工具， 人口。我们的区域重点是后工业化城市的老化基础设施和新的， 宾夕法尼亚州农村社区面临的独特挑战，这些社区正在经历快速工业化， 天然气的水力压裂许多受影响的社区符合环境标准 司法社区面临着巨大的健康差距。COEC让这些社区参与进来， 通过"目标社区模式"，我们首先了解社区问题，然后解决 环境健康问题。COEC在以社区为基础的宣传方面有着良好的记录 研究（CBRP），并制定了一个"社区第一的沟通模式"，其中CBPR的结果是 首先向受影响社区传播，以增强社区影响变革的能力。COEC使用了 这一模式成功地建立了利用整合资源的翻译研究团队 健康科学中心及其人群接触小组设计研究并制定一项 沟通计划。COEC的使命通过以下不同的目标进一步完成： 利用利益相关者咨询委员会确定COEC活动的优先次序;（ii）利用我们的目标社区模型， 以能够改善公共卫生的方式传播环境卫生信息;（iii） 沟通我们的社区受众所经历的环境健康问题，以制定CEET的研究议程; (iv)教育EHS中的新医疗保健专业人员，以建立职业环境医学的能力， 服务社区; ㈤将研究信息转化为公共卫生知识并加以传播; ㈥ 通过开发创新模式推进社区参与领域;（vii）创建和 传播新的教育材料;（ix）与其他COEC合作;以及（x）评估 COEC使用逻辑模型。COEC团队由Marilyn Howarth博士领导，他拥有超过25年的经验， 一位职业和环境卫生医生和Richard Pepino先生， 在环境政策和管理科学方面的经验。
