The BREATHE (Bridging Research, Lung Health, and the Environment) Children's Center applies the NIEHS translational framework to translate findings from for Johns Hopkins Childhood Asthma in the Urban Environment (CCAUE) Center and other Children's Centers across the country to put science into practice. Novel, evidence- based communication strategies will inform and engage students, community members, health professionals and policy makers in efforts to reduce harmful environmental exposures and promote children's respiratory health. The Translation Core will develop novel tools, including a children's environmental respiratory health and advocacy training curriculum (Lung Health Ambassadors Program) and a communication dashboard ( Kids BREATHE Lung Health Dashboard), to address priority opportunities to improve children's environmental health. The Lung Health Ambassadors Program (LHAP) is a school-based health education program to educate and empower youth to be advocates for lung health. LHAP was started in Baltimore City, has been highly successful and has been rapidly implemented in classrooms and online platforms. LHAP will serve as the foundation for a Children's Environmental Health Curriculum tailored to reach specific audiences—students, community members, healthcare professionals—with a goal to educate about environmental hazards that impact lung health and promote interventions to reduce risk. The Johns Hopkins University COVID-19 Dashboard is an epidemiologic communication tool that has engaged end-users across the world. The success demonstrates the power of communication tools that are web-based, interactive, and present information with mapping tools. The Kids BREATHE Lung Health Dashboard will be modelled on the COVID-19 Dashboard to synthesize decades of research findings to communicate knowledge about environmental exposures, associated health risks, and the potential benefit of interventions to the general public. Aim 1 of the Translation Core will synthesize research findings with a state of the science report and develop these tools with feedback from target audiences. Aim 2 will implement and evaluate the Lung Health Ambassador Children's Environmental Respiratory Health curriculum and the Kids BREATHE Lung Health Dashboard. Aim 3 will include development of a Lung Health Corps, a volunteer network comprised initially of LHAP graduates and BREATHE Center affiliates. Key partners at the local, state and national level will be engaged in a coordinated advocacy program to promote dissemination of communication tools and adoption of policies to address children's environmental health disparities. This will culminate in the BREATHE Children's Center Symposium with a Special Session on Public Policy. Aim 4 will support a pilot program that enhances innovation and engages a diverse pipeline of early investigators, students and community members in all aspects of the Translation Core activities, fostering career development and engaging future leaders invested in children's environmental respiratory health.
