DESCRIPTION (provided by investigator): Project Title: Assessment of Local Environmental Risk Training (ALERT) to Reduce Health Disparities This project addresses broad Challenge Area (09) Health Disparities and specific Challenge Topic, 09-ES-101: Building trust between researchers and communities through capacity building in Environmental Public Health. This project will refine and test the feasibility of a method of engaging communities and researchers in collaborative projects that build mutual trust and longer-term relationships. The Assessment of Local Environmental Risk Training (ALERT) to Reduce Health Disparities responds to the need for building the capacity of community based organizations (CBOs) to actively participate as equal partners in research projects and the need to train researchers to engage community residents in research from the CBO side and be able to communicate research and risk to residents effectively. (NIEHS 2008) ALERT will engage both community organization staff and local air quality researchers in building community capacity to use empirical data in program planning and policy development, embed that capacity in formal action plans, and establish or strengthen partnerships to advance public policies to prevent, reduce, or eliminate air quality health risks. The UCLA Center for Health Policy Research (UCLA CHPR) and the UCLA Center for Occupational and Environmental Health (COEH) will collaborate with The Children's Clinic of Long Beach and the East Los Angeles Community Corp of Boyle Heights. ALERT will use a community- based health data literacy training model to engage community representatives and environmental health researchers in collaborative education and strategic planning activities to address challenges facing residents most at risk for health disparities including communities of color, low-income neighborhoods, and immigrant populations. The specific aims of the project are to 1. develop new educational materials to improve the ability of CBO staff to obtain, understand, and use empirical data in collaboration with academic environmental health (EH) researchers; 2. Conduct trainings and engage CBO participants with EH researchers; 3. Document the feasibility of the ALERT educational model and its impact on the EH knowledge, skills, self-efficacy, and practices of project participants using pre- and post-test data; 4. Disseminate curriculum, training materials and findings to facilitate replication nationally. Strengths of this application include the development of a community-based education model that enhances the data knowledge and skills of CBOs, and fosters equitable partnerships between community members and researchers that are responsive to the environmental health concerns of local communities. The model can be replicated with other environmental health issues to enhance the data knowledge and skills of other community-based organizations. All materials developed will be disseminated via the Centers websites. The Assessment of Local Environmental Risk Training (ALERT) to Reduce Health Disparities responds to the Challenge Topic: 09-ES-101 Building trust between researchers and communities through capacity building in Environmental Public Health. ALERT uses a community based train the trainer model based on diffusion of innovation theoretical framework to build knowledge and skills of community based organizations (CBO) and build collaborative relationships between researchers and CBOs. ALERT will engage both CBO staff and local air quality researchers in building community capacity to use empirical data in program planning and policy development, embed that capacity in formal action plans, and establish or strengthen partnerships to advance public health policies to prevent, reduce, or eliminate air quality health risks.

描述（由研究者提供）：项目名称：评估当地环境风险培训（ALERT）以减少健康差异本项目解决广泛的挑战领域（09）健康差异和特定的挑战主题，09-ES-101：通过环境公共卫生能力建设建立研究人员和社区之间的信任。该项目将完善和测试一种让社区和研究人员参与建立相互信任和长期关系的合作项目的方法的可行性。评估当地环境风险培训（ALERT），以减少健康差异，以满足社区组织（CBO）的能力建设的需要，积极参与研究项目的平等伙伴，并需要培训研究人员从CBO方面参与社区居民的研究，并能够有效地向居民传达研究和风险。（NIEHS 2008）ALERT将让社区组织工作人员和当地空气质量研究人员参与社区能力建设，以便在方案规划和政策制定中使用经验数据，将这种能力嵌入正式的行动计划，并建立或加强合作伙伴关系，以推进公共政策，以预防，减少或消除空气质量健康风险。加州大学洛杉矶分校卫生政策研究中心（UCLA CHPR）和加州大学洛杉矶分校职业与环境卫生中心（COEH）将与长滩儿童诊所和波义耳高地的东洛杉矶社区公司合作。ALERT将使用基于社区的健康数据素养培训模型，让社区代表和环境健康研究人员参与协作教育和战略规划活动，以解决最有可能出现健康差异的居民面临的挑战，包括有色人种社区，低收入社区和移民人口。该项目的具体目标是1。开发新的教育材料，以提高CBO工作人员的能力，以获得，理解，并与学术环境健康（EH）研究人员合作使用经验数据; 2.开展培训，并让CBO参与者与EH研究人员接触; 3.使用测试前和测试后的数据记录ALERT教育模式的可行性及其对项目参与者的EH知识、技能、自我效能和实践的影响; 4.传播课程、培训材料和调查结果，以促进在全国推广。这一应用的优势包括开发一个以社区为基础的教育模式，以增强社区组织的数据知识和技能，并促进社区成员和研究人员之间的公平伙伴关系，以应对当地社区的环境健康问题。这一模式可用于其他环境卫生问题，以增强其他社区组织的数据知识和技能。所有编写的材料都将通过中心的网站传播。评估当地环境风险培训（ALERT），以减少健康差异响应挑战主题：09-ES-101通过环境公共卫生能力建设建立研究人员和社区之间的信任。ALERT采用基于创新理论框架的社区培训模式，建立社区组织（CBO）的知识和技能，并在研究人员和CBO之间建立合作关系。ALERT将让CBO工作人员和当地空气质量研究人员参与社区能力建设，以在项目规划和政策制定中使用经验数据，将该能力嵌入正式行动计划中，并建立或加强合作伙伴关系，以推进公共卫生政策，以预防、减少或消除空气质量健康风险。
