ABSTRACT The Community Engagement Core (CEC) supports the theme of the UNC Center for Environmental Health and Susceptibility (CEHS), translating interdisciplinary research on environmental health susceptibility to improve public health in North Carolina. The work of the Community Engagement Core (CEC) in the UNC- Chapel Hill Center for Environmental Health and Susceptibility (CEHS) is grounded in the Center's research foci, and the CEC's reach extends broadly across the state and deeply into North Carolina's communities of public health and education professionals. The CEC prioritizes partnering with public health professionals and educators who engage our state's most vulnerable populations, such as minority and low-income populations, because these populations tend to be more at-risk of the adverse health outcomes being studied in CEHS and tend to have more serious health outcomes. The goal of the CEC is to enhance public understanding of environmental health sciences research and foster environmental health literacy among public health professionals and secondary science and health teachers, raising awareness of environmental health issues and facilitating informed decision making that reduces harmful environmental exposures in homes and communities. We accomplish this goal through four aims: (1) To foster dialogue among CEHS members and community partners to inform development of environmental health sciences research that is responsive to community concerns; (2) To enhance the capacity of public health practitioners to engage vulnerable populations and other residents on locally relevant environmental health issues using a train-the-trainer approach; (3) To enhance the capacity of secondary science and health educators to engage adolescents in meaningful and socially contextualized education by facilitating incorporation of cutting-edge research into instruction; and (4) To facilitate development of science communication skills among CEHS investigators and trainees. The CEC is a vital element of the CEHS as it connects CEHS investigators with community partners, facilitating multidirectional communication and ensuring broad relevance to the State, both of which are critical to meeting the translational goals of the CEHS.

抽象的 社区参与核心 (CEC) 支持北卡罗来纳大学环境健康中心的主题 敏感性（CEHS），将环境健康敏感性的跨学科研究转化为 改善北卡罗来纳州的公共卫生。北卡罗来纳大学社区参与核心 (CEC) 的工作 教堂山环境健康与敏感性中心 (CEHS) 的研究重点是： CEC 的影响范围广泛延伸至全州并深入北卡罗来纳州的公共社区 健康和教育专业人员。 CEC 优先考虑与公共卫生专业人员和 吸引我们州最弱势群体（例如少数族裔和低收入群体）参与的教育工作者， 因为这些人群往往更容易遭受 CEHS 所研究的不良健康结果的风险， 往往会产生更严重的健康后果。 CEC 的目标是增强公众对 环境健康科学研究并培养公共卫生人员的环境健康素养 专业人员和中学科学与健康教师，提高对环境健康问题的认识 促进明智的决策，减少家庭和环境中的有害环境暴露 社区。我们通过四个目标来实现这一目标： (1) 促进 CEHS 成员之间的对话以及 社区合作伙伴为环境健康科学研究的发展提供信息，以响应 社区关注的问题； (2) 提高公共卫生从业人员与弱势群体接触的能力 和其他居民采用培训师培训的方式就当地相关的环境健康问题进行培训； (3) 至 提高中等科学和健康教育者的能力，让青少年参与有意义和有意义的活动 通过促进将前沿研究纳入教学来实现社会情境化教育；和（4） 促进 CEHS 研究者和受训人员科学沟通技能的发展。中委会是 CEHS 的重要组成部分，因为它将 CEHS 调查员与社区合作伙伴联系起来，促进 多向沟通并确保与国家的广泛相关性，这两者对于 满足 CEHS 的转化目标。
