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地图摘要拟议的项目涉及广泛的挑战领域(09)、健康差距和具体挑战主题09-ES-101，“通过环境公共卫生方面的能力建设在研究人员和社区之间建立信任”。它的目的是解决少数族裔社区在卫生预防方面的一个重大差距，方法是将研究人员和服务不足的种族/族裔社区的成员聚集在一起，共同编制关于社区环境危害和获得卫生保健的障碍的概况。特别是，这项工作将建立在一个以社区为基础的发展性参与性研究项目的基础上，该项目的重点是最近备受关注的对蓬勃发展的美甲沙龙行业化学物质暴露的健康风险的担忧，该行业在加利福尼亚州由越南移民工人主导。以此为起点，我们将开展平等伙伴关系社区地图绘制项目，将研究伙伴在使用地理信息系统(GIS)工具方面的专业知识与社区伙伴的知识和看法结合起来，以确定影响越南移民健康风险的邻里工作和居住环境的特征。预计这一伙伴关系将使人们更深入地了解与在美国的越南移民日益不利的健康体验相关的因素，并提供一个机会，使社区成员能够更好地向医疗保健机构和当地政府阐明和表达他们的关切。该社区测绘项目的目的是：1)通过越南社区成员的一系列焦点小组，识别社区感知的经济、环境、社会和建筑环境应激源和健康获取障碍，并按一般年龄组进行分层。2)使用现有数据源创建初始社区地图，以表征不同社区在经济、环境、社会和已建环境压力方面的差异。3)开发和实施社区地图调查工具，以收集邻里一级的信息，以加强基线社区地图(目标2)。A.开发社区地图调查工具，收集社区感知的压力源和障碍的信息(从目标1确定)。B.让越南美甲沙龙工人参与收集社区数据，以描述社区感知的压力源和障碍。C.收集柴油废气的空气监测数据，柴油废气是一种已知的高度社区关注的空气污染物，以评估不同社区之间的水平差异，并评估有关该污染物的现有数据。4)使用现有和新收集的数据(目标3)开发增强的社区地图，以描述社区经济、环境、社会和建筑环境应激源的变化。移民人口项目叙述中的环境危害和障碍的社区测绘拟议的社区测绘项目旨在通过将研究人员和服务不足的种族/民族社区的成员聚集在一起，共同制定社区环境危害和获得卫生保健的障碍的概况，以解决少数族裔社区在卫生预防方面的一个重大差距。我们将以越南移民人口为重点，开展平等伙伴关系地图绘制项目，将研究伙伴在使用地理信息系统(GIS)工具方面的专业知识与社区伙伴的知识和看法结合起来，以确定影响越南移民健康风险的邻里工作和居住环境的特征。这项工作将建立在一个以社区为基础的发展性参与性研究项目的基础上，该项目的重点是最近备受关注的对蓬勃发展的美甲沙龙行业化学物质暴露所带来的健康风险的担忧，该行业在加利福尼亚州由越南移民工人主导。
