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.

社区参与研究(CBPR)被定义为合作的过程 与因地理位置接近、特殊兴趣或类似情况而联系在一起的一群人- 是存在的。向利益相关者和社区成员传播研究成果是 CBPR与GCCCR社区参与核心(CEC)相关。CBPR需要有效的沟通 研究人员和利益相关者之间的关系。双向交流对于任何以社区为中心的人都是必不可少的 研究或干预，以确保有效、成功的协作。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。建立信任关系 社区成员和研究人员之间的协作关系，双向对话必须 已经成立了。社区卫生工作者是一线公共卫生工作者，他们有 了解他们所服务的社区。志愿者同伴健康倡导者(VPHAS)是受过培训的志愿者 他们致力于改善社区的健康状况。建立社区卫生组织之间的关系， VPHAS和社区成员建立相互尊重，实现社区之间的双向对话 和研究人员，从而为持续的共生合作奠定了基础。利用CHW和 PHA从与社区成员的持续接触中学习将帮助研究人员确定进一步研究的领域 调查。这一合作使卫生福利院和VPHAS能够成为 医疗保健和社会服务体系。咨询委员会将促进两国之间的双向沟通 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 用于发展和开展环境健康知识培训以及促进市政厅的资源 会议作为提高认识、建立信任和传播研究成果的关键平台 和信息。此外，CEC将利用现有的CHWS和VPHAS来协助识别和 招募关键社区成员参与形成性研究，包括基线环境研究 健康评估，以确定社区的需求、知识、资源、优势和限制。这 信息将被用来确定合作并制定适当的环境健康教育和 培训以减少障碍并有效实现这些目标。除了市政厅会议外，CEC还将 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。一份电子时事通讯将以研究更新为特色， 研究成果，并宣布社区成员参与积极研究的机会。这个 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。
