DESCRIPTION (as provided by applicant): The NIH roadmap has, among its goals, to promote studies designed to improve public understanding of biomedical and behavioral science, developing strategies for promoting collaborations between scientists and communities to improve the health of the public. To address these goals, we are proposing to create a unique partnership between Nuestra Comunidad Sana, a program of the Next Door Inc. located in Hood River, Oregon and researchers at Oregon Health and Science University in Portland, Oregon. In this pilot project, we will undertake specific aims to: 1) To create a community-based participatory research partnership between Nuestra Comunidad Sana, a program of the Next Door Inc. and Oregon Health and Science University designed to enhance collaboration between community and research partners; 2) To use popular education and participatory action techniques to inform and engage Hispanic families participating in an ongoing program on organic farming (Harvest Fiesta) about key research methods and findings in health and disease, particularly those associated with occupational farming, home gardening, and nutrition; 3) To evaluate the impact of the educational program on knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors regarding occupational farming, home gardening, and nutrition and on scientific literacy, and to assess mechanisms for dissemination of information from active participants in the program to other neighborhood members. The Harvest Fiesta Program is a peer network that supports the establishment of organic home gardens (growing healthful produce) among Hispanic families and assesses its impact on nutrition and exercise practices among participants. Measures include a formal assessment of each family's nutritional status and food choices before and after their garden is implemented. The program also builds community and self-sufficiency through neighborhood gardening in ways that honor and utilize traditional skills and Hispanic culture. Though 10 families were initially selected to take part, this number has grown to 40 families due to successful neighborhood connections. Though successful in implementation, the program would benefit from two features that could be provided by research partners: 1) An educational program that would convey scientific information about occupational farming and pesticide exposure, and nutritional research methods and results in a format that program participants can understand; and 2) Qualitative and quantitative (mixed methods) evaluation expertise that would provide a vital foundation for ongoing community-based research focusing on Hispanic communities in Oregon. The NIH roadmap has among its goals, to promote studies designed to improve public understanding of biomedical and behavioral science, and to develop strategies for promoting collaborations between scientists and communities toward improving the public's health. To address these goals, we are proposing a unique partnership between Nuestra Comunidad Sana, a program of The Next Door Inc. located in Hood River, Oregon and researchers at Oregon Health and Science University in Portland, Oregon that is specifically designed to use community-based participatory research methods to inform and engage Hispanic families participating in an ongoing program on organic farming (Harvest Fiesta) about key research methods and findings in health and disease, particularly those associated with occupational farming, home gardening, and nutrition.

描述(由申请者提供)：NIH路线图的目标之一是促进旨在提高公众对生物医学和行为科学的理解的研究，制定促进科学家和社区之间的合作以改善公众健康的战略。为了实现这些目标，我们提议在位于俄勒冈州胡德河的Next Door Inc.的项目Nuestra Comunida Sana和俄勒冈州波特兰市俄勒冈健康与科学大学的研究人员之间建立独特的合作伙伴关系。在这一试点项目中，我们将承担具体目标：1)在Nuestra Comunida Sana之间建立社区参与性研究伙伴关系，这是Nighter Door Inc.和俄勒冈健康与科学大学的一个项目，旨在加强社区和研究伙伴之间的合作；2)利用普及教育和参与性行动技术，向参加正在进行的有机农业(丰收节)项目的拉美裔家庭通报和吸引他们，了解健康和疾病方面的关键研究方法和结果，特别是与职业农业、家庭园艺和营养相关的研究方法和结果；3)评估教育计划对职业农业、家庭园艺和营养方面的知识、态度、信念和行为的影响，以及对科学素养的影响，并评估计划积极参与者向其他邻里成员传播信息的机制。丰收嘉年华计划是一个同行网络，支持在西班牙裔家庭中建立有机家庭花园(种植健康农产品)，并评估其对参与者的营养和锻炼实践的影响。这些措施包括在实施花园前后对每个家庭的营养状况和食物选择进行正式评估。该计划还通过尊重和利用传统技能和西班牙文化的方式，通过社区园艺建立社区和自给自足。虽然最初选择了10个家庭参加，但由于成功的邻里关系，这个数字已经增长到40个家庭。虽然该计划在实施上取得了成功，但它将受益于研究合作伙伴可以提供的两个特点：1)教育计划，以计划参与者可以理解的形式传达有关职业农业和农药暴露的科学信息，以及营养研究方法和结果；2)定性和定量(混合方法)评估专业知识，这将为正在进行的以俄勒冈州拉美裔社区为重点的社区研究提供重要基础。 NIH路线图的目标之一是，促进旨在提高公众对生物医学和行为科学的理解的研究，并制定战略，促进科学家和社区之间的合作，以改善公众的健康。为了实现这些目标，我们提议在位于俄勒冈州胡德河的Next Door Inc.和俄勒冈州波特兰市俄勒冈健康与科学大学的研究人员之间建立一种独特的合作伙伴关系，该项目专门设计使用基于社区的参与性研究方法，让参与正在进行的有机农业(丰收嘉年华)项目的拉美裔家庭了解健康和疾病方面的关键研究方法和结果，特别是与职业农业、家庭园艺和营养相关的研究方法和结果。
