DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Community Mapping of Environmental Hazards and Barriers in an Immigrant Population Abstract The proposed 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". It is designed to address a major gap in health prevention for minority communities by bringing together researchers and members of an underserved racial/ethnic community to produce a collaboratively developed profile of neighborhood environmental hazards and barriers to health care access. In particular, this work will build on a developmental community-based participatory research project focused on the recently high profile concerns of health risks from chemical exposures in the burgeoning nail salon industry, an industry dominated in California by Vietnamese immigrant workers. With that as a starting point, we will conduct an equal partnership community mapping project, bringing expertise in the use of geographic information systems (GIS) tools from the research partner together with the knowledge and perceptions of the community partner to characterize neighborhood work and residential environments influencing the health risks of Vietnamese immigrants. It is anticipated that this partnership will provide greater insights into factors associated with the increasing adverse health experience of Vietnamese immigrants in the US, as well as provide an opportunity to empower community members to better illustrate and articulate their concerns to the health care establishment and local government. The aims of this community mapping project are to: 1) Identify community-perceived economic, environmental, social and built environmental stressors and health access barriers through a series of focus groups with Vietnamese community members, stratified by general age groups. 2) Create initial community maps using existing data sources to characterize differences in economic, environmental, social and built environmental stressors across neighborhoods. 3) Develop and implement a community mapping survey tool for collecting neighborhood-level information to enhance baseline community maps (Aim 2). a. Develop a community mapping survey instrument to collect information on community-perceived stressors and barriers (identified from Aim 1). b. Engage Vietnamese nail salon workers in the collection of neighborhood data to describe community- perceived stressors and barriers. c. Collect air monitoring data on diesel exhaust, an air contaminant of known high community concern, to assess differences in levels across neighborhoods and evaluate existing data on this contaminant. 4) Develop enhanced community maps using existing and newly-collected data (Aim 3) to describe variations in neighborhood economic, environmental, social and built environmental stressors.

描述（由申请人提供）：移民人口中环境危害和障碍的社区映射摘要拟议项目涉及广泛的挑战领域（09），健康差异和特定挑战主题09-ES-101，“通过环境公共卫生中的能力建设建立研究人员和社区之间的信任”。它旨在通过将研究人员和服务不足的种族/族裔社区的成员汇集在一起​​，从而产生邻里环境危害和医疗保健障碍的协作形象，以解决少数民族社区的健康预防差距。特别是，这项工作将建立在一个基于发展的社区参与研究项目的基础上，该项目重点介绍了最近在蓬勃发展的指甲沙龙行业中对健康风险的关注，这是一个由越南移民工人在加利福尼亚州占主导地位的行业。以此为起点，我们将开展一个平等的合作伙伴社区地图项目，从研究合作伙伴中使用地理信息系统（GIS）工具的专业知识，以及社区合作伙伴的知识和看法，以影响邻里工作和住宅环境，影响越南移民的健康风险。可以预料，这种伙伴关系将为与美国越南移民不利的健康经历相关的因素提供更多的见解，并提供了一个机会，使社区成员能够更好地说明和表达他们对卫生保健机构和地方政府的关注。该社区地图项目的目的是：1）通过一系列与越南社区成员的焦点小组一起确定社区感知的经济，环境，社会和建筑环境压力和健康访问障碍，并由一般年龄段分层。 2）使用现有数据源创建初始的社区地图，以表征各个社区的经济，环境，社会和建筑环境压力源的差异。 3）开发和实施一个社区映射调查工具，用于收集社区级别的信息以增强基线社区地图（AIM 2）。一个。开发社区映射调查工具，以收集有关社区感知的压力源和障碍的信息（从AIM 1确定）。 b。让越南美甲沙龙工人参与邻里数据，以描述社区感知的压力源和障碍。 c。收集有关柴油排气的空气监测数据，这是已知高社区关注的空气污染物，以评估跨社区水平的差异，并评估这种污染物的现有数据。 4）使用现有和新收集的数据（AIM 3）来开发增强的社区地图，以描述邻里经济，环境，社会和建筑环境压力源的变化。拟议的社区地图项目旨在解决少数民族社区的健康预防差距，通过将研究人员和服务不足的种族/人类社区的成员汇集在一起​​，旨在解决邻里环境危害和障碍范围的协作概况，以解决少数民族社区的健康预防范围，旨在解决少数民族社区的健康预防差距，旨在解决少数民族社区的健康预防差距，以解决少数群体的健康预防差距。我们将专注于越南移民人口，我们将进行一个平等的合作伙伴地图项目，从研究合作伙伴中带来专业知识，以及社区合作伙伴的知识和看法，以表征影响越南移民健康风险的邻里工作和住宅环境的知识和看法。这项工作将建立在一个基于发展的社区参与研究项目的基础上，该项目重点介绍了最近在蓬勃发展的指甲沙龙行业中对健康风险的关注，这是一个由越南移民工人在加利福尼亚州占主导地位的行业。
