ABSTRACT Household waste burning, especially of plastics, is a major, but unaddressed environmental and health hazard in low resource countries that lack a waste management infrastructure to properly dispose of waste. In rural Guatemala, 95% of households use solid fuels for cooking and 71% burn waste as the primary means of disposal. Plastic waste is burned in solid fuel (e.g., wood) cookstoves and in outdoor fires as a means of disposal. ECOLECTIVOS is a cluster randomized trial using implementation research to develop and evaluate community-level working groups that aim to reduce household burning of plastic waste. With this administrative supplement we will select up to three environmental health community workers (promotoras) per village from among the women who participate in the 12-week community working group sessions in 8 intervention villages. We will use the Behavior Change Wheel and RE-AIM, two implementation science frameworks to assess opportunities, capabilities and motivations that determine behaviors, as well as the reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation fidelity, maintenance, and sustainability of community-driven interventions. In Aim 1, the promotoras will be trained to administer short checklist surveys to the 25 women in their village who participate in the working groups and who continue to implement the intervention selected by the village (e.g., community recycling) to assess domains of COM-B and RE-AIM. The promotoras will communicate with ECOLECTIVOS research staff about implementation bottlenecks (e.g., recycling truck didn’t arrive) and successes (e.g., number of villagers engaged successfully in recycling). In Aim 2, the promotoras will help project staff design and implement “intervention fairs” to be rolled out in 8 control villages. These fairs will be structured to promote the uptake and adoption of intervention activities in nearby control villages. The project is relevant to the NIEHS mission because it fosters collaboration between research and community groups in the conduct of community-engaged research that aims to improve household and ambient air quality. Our findings will be incorporated into community-driven public health actions with policymakers to develop programs in other local contexts.

摘要 家庭垃圾焚烧，特别是塑料垃圾焚烧，是一个主要的，但尚未解决的环境和健康危害 在缺乏废物管理基础设施以妥善处置废物的低资源国家。农村 在危地马拉，95%的家庭使用固体燃料做饭，71%的家庭焚烧废物作为主要的生活方式。 处置塑料废物在固体燃料中燃烧（例如，木材）炉灶和户外火灾作为一种手段， 处置ECOLECTIVOS是一项使用实施研究开发和评估的群集随机试验 社区一级的工作组，旨在减少家庭燃烧塑料废物。与此行政 我们将在每个村庄挑选最多三名环境卫生社区工作者（促进者）， 在8个干预村参加为期12周的社区工作组会议的妇女中， 我们将使用行为改变轮和RE-AIM这两个实施科学框架来评估 机会，能力和动机，决定行为，以及范围，有效性， 社区驱动的干预措施的采用、执行的忠实性、维持和可持续性。在目标1中， 宣传员将接受培训，对村里的25名妇女进行简短的核对表调查， 参加工作组并继续实施村庄选择的干预措施（例如， 社区回收），以评估COM-B和RE-AIM的域。发起人将与 ECOLECTIVOS研究人员关于实施瓶颈（例如，回收车没有到达）， 成功（例如，成功参与回收的村民人数）。在目标2中，发起人将帮助项目 工作人员设计和实施“干预集市”，在8个对照村推广。这些展会将结构化 在附近的对照村庄推广和采用干预活动。该项目与 NIEHS的使命，因为它促进了研究和社区团体之间的合作， 旨在改善家庭和环境空气质量的社区参与研究。我们的发现将是 与决策者一起纳入社区驱动的公共卫生行动，以在其他地方制定方案 contexts.
