PROJECT SUMMARY- Community Engagement Core (CEC) The University of Kentucky Center for Appalachian Research in Environmental Sciences (UK-CARES) Community Engagement Core (CEC) will grow, maintain, and enhance strong, sustained, multidirectional community-academic partnerships that 1) support meaningful community engagement; 2) build environmental health literacy; 3) reduce environmental health risks; and 4) decrease health disparities in rural Appalachia. Decades of legacy mining and fracking operations, as well as an aging water infrastructure, have resulted in exposure to water and air contaminants which have led to community concerns about water and air quality as well as emerging environmental health threats. The CEC will build on a strong foundation of successful community engagement and support environmental health science (EHS) by connecting investigators with community partners to promote projects consistent with the three science themes of the Center—(a) Health Impacts of Waterborne Contaminants; (b) Health Impacts of Indoor & Outdoor Airborne Contaminants; and (c) Emerging Environmental Health Threats. The CEC will use an iterative multidirectional process that brings local knowledge into the Center, leverages UK-CARES’ investigator strengths and institutional support, reports back research findings with at-risk communities, and encourages solution-focused communication among community and organizational stakeholders. Specifically, the aims of the CEC are to: 1) foster and cultivate multidirectional community-academic partnerships engaged in UK-CARES research that is responsive to regional environmental health issues, needs and concerns; 2) translate and disseminate EHS findings through science communication and advocacy training to foster clinical decision making and policy formation; and 3) strengthen partnerships with community and healthcare stakeholders in UK-CARES’ environmental health research across the translational spectrum. First, we will engage our Stakeholder Advisory Board members to offer culturally appropriate insight that will inform and assist Center investigators in their research. The CEC will use formal (e.g., focus groups) and informal (e.g., listening sessions) means to engage in multi-directional dialogue with community stakeholders to assess environmental health concerns. In turn, the CEC will serve as a bridge to and from the community to facilitate community engagement in EHS that leverages the strengths of UK-CARES and is responsive to community concerns. Second, will provide training in effective science communication and advocacy with healthcare providers, faculty, and community stakeholders. We will build on our impactful science communication training curriculum to prepare scientists for effective multi-modal dissemination of findings, including use of evidence-based advocacy skills with policymakers. Lastly, we will collaborate with the Integrated Health Sciences Facility Core to create tailored multi-modal report back approaches to reach healthcare providers to promote clinical decision making related to how the environment affects health in the region, and policymakers, to promote policy formation that fosters environmental justice.

项目摘要-社区参与核心(CEC) 肯塔基大学阿巴拉契亚环境科学研究中心(UK-CARE) 社区参与核心(CEC)将发展、保持和增强强大、持续、多方向 社区-学术伙伴关系：1)支持有意义的社区参与；2)建立环境 卫生知识普及；3)减少环境健康风险；4)减少阿巴拉契亚农村地区的健康差距。 几十年的遗留采矿和水力压裂作业，以及老化的水利基础设施，导致了 暴露在水和空气污染物中，导致社区对水和空气质量的关注，因为 以及新出现的环境健康威胁。CEC将建立在成功的 社区参与和支持环境健康科学(EHS)，将调查人员与 社区合作伙伴促进符合中心三个科学主题的项目--(A)健康 (B)室内和室外空气污染物对健康的影响；及(C) 新出现的环境健康威胁。CEC将使用一个迭代的多方向进程，以带来 报告称，将当地知识引入该中心，利用英国-CARE的调查人员优势和机构支持 与处于风险中的社区一起支持研究结果，并鼓励 社区和组织利益相关者。具体地说，CEC的目标是：1)培养和培育 参与英国-CARE研究的多方向社区-学术合作伙伴关系 区域环境健康问题、需求和关切；2)通过以下途径翻译和传播EHS调查结果 科学交流和宣传培训，以促进临床决策和政策形成；以及3) 加强与社区和医疗保健利益攸关方在英国-CARE的环境健康方面的伙伴关系 跨翻译领域的研究。首先，我们将让我们的利益相关者咨询委员会成员参与 提供与文化相适应的见解，为中心调查人员的研究提供信息和帮助。CEC 将使用正式(例如，焦点小组)和非正式(例如，聆听会议)的方式进行多方向交流 与社区利益攸关方对话，评估环境健康问题。反过来，CEC将作为 社区之间的桥梁，以促进社区参与EHS，利用 英国-关心并回应社区关注的问题。第二，将提供有效的科学培训 与医疗保健提供者、教师和社区利益相关者进行沟通和宣传。我们将在此基础上 我们富有影响力的科学传播培训课程为科学家提供有效的多模式培训 传播调查结果，包括向政策制定者使用循证宣传技能。最后，我们将 与综合健康科学设施核心合作，创建定制的多模式报告 如何接触到医疗保健提供者，以促进与环境有关的临床决策 影响到该区域的健康和政策制定者，以促进形成促进环境正义的政策。
