Community Engagement Core

社区参与式研究（CBPR）是指社区参与式研究的过程 由于地理位置接近、特殊利益或影响其健康的类似情况而隶属的人群， 存在。向利益攸关方和社区成员传播研究成果是 CBPR与GCCCR社区参与核心（CEC）有关。CBPR需要有效的沟通 研究人员和利益相关者之间。双向沟通对于任何以社区为中心的 研究或干预，以确保功能，成功的合作。这一CBPR原则适用于 环境健康和在社区环境中传播研究成果。建立信任 社区成员和研究人员之间的合作关系，双向对话必须是 确立了习社区卫生工作者（CHW）是一线公共卫生工作者， 了解他们所服务的社区。志愿同伴健康倡导者（VPHAs）是受过培训的志愿者 他们致力于改善社区的健康状况。建立社区卫生工作者之间的关系， VPHA和社区成员建立相互尊重，使社区之间能够进行双向对话 和研究人员，从而为持续的共生合作奠定基础。利用CHW和 PHA从与社区成员的持续接触中学习，将有助于研究人员确定进一步研究的领域。 调查这种合作使CHW和VPHAs能够在以下方面发挥联络和中介作用： 卫生保健和社会服务系统。一个咨询委员会将促进双方之间的双向沟通， 特定GCR社区内的研究人员和利益相关者。董事会将作为主要的 资源，用于开发和开展环境卫生扫盲培训以及促进市政厅 会议作为提高认识、建立信任和传播研究成果的重要平台 和信息此外，CEC将利用现有的CHW和VPHA协助识别和 招募关键社区成员参与形成性研究，包括基线环境 健康评估，以确定社区的需求，知识，资源，优势和局限性。这 信息将用于确定合作和发展适当的环境卫生教育， 培训，以减少障碍，有效地实现这些目标。除了市政厅会议，中央选举委员会将 开发一个社交媒体页面，作为研究传播和双向交流的有效工具 社区成员和研究人员之间的关系。一份电子通讯将介绍最新研究情况， 研究结果，并宣布社区成员参与积极研究的机会。的 电子通讯将分发给利益相关者，社区组织，当地卫生部门，信仰 基于组织、基于社区的组织和社区成员。

Community engaged participatory research (CBPR) is defined as the process of working collaboratively with groups of people affiliated by geographic proximity, special interests, or similar situations affecting their well- being. Dissemination of research findings with stakeholders and community members is a significant part of CBPR as it relates to the GCCCR Community Engagement Core (CEC). CBPR requires effective communication between researchers and stakeholders. Bidirectional communication is essential for any community-focused research or intervention to ensure a functional, successful collaboration. This CBPR principle holds true for environmental health and dissemination of research findings in a community setting. To build a trusting collaborative relationship between community members and researchers, bi-directional dialogue must be established. Community Health Workers (CHWs) are frontline public health workers who have a close understanding of the communities they serve. Volunteer Peer Health Advocates (VPHAs) are trained volunteers who are committed to improving the health of their communities. Establishing relationships between CHWs, VPHAs and community members creates mutual respect, enabling bidirectional dialogue between communities and researchers, thus laying the foundation for ongoing, symbiotic collaboration. Leveraging what CHWs and PHAs learn from constant engagement with community members will help researchers identify areas for further investigation. This collaboration enables CHWs and VPHAs to serve as liaisons and intermediaries between health care and social service systems. An advisory board will facilitate bidirectional communication between researchers and stakeholders within the specified GCR communities. The board will serve as the primary resource for developing and conducting environmental health literacy training as well as facilitating town hall meetings to serve as a key platform for increasing awareness, building trust, and disseminating research findings and information. Further, the CEC will utilize existing CHWs and VPHAs to assist in the identification and recruitment of key community members to participate in formative research including a baseline environmental health assessment to determine communities’ needs, knowledge, resources, strengths, and limitations. This information will be used to identify collaborations and develop appropriate environmental health education and training to reduce barriers and effectively achieve these goals. In addition to town hall meetings, the CEC will develop a social media page to use as an effective tool in research dissemination and bidirectional commination between the community members and researchers. An electronic newsletter will feature research updates, research findings, and announce opportunities for community members to participate in active research. The electronic newsletter will be distributed to stakeholders, community organizations, local health departments, faith based organizations, community based organizations, and community members.
