奥克兰唐人街是奥克兰市行人和车辆事故最多的地方。作为回应，亚洲卫生服务组织在当地开展了一项运动，重点是提高社区成员对行人安全问题的认识。认识到解决行人伤害的教育推广方法的局限性，重点是改变个人行为，这场运动慢慢演变成一个环境正义运动与社区能力建设的角度。举例说明预防研究所的加州运动模式的原则，以解决健康差距，目前的运动，现在题为振兴唐人街！展示了生态系统方法如何更有效地解决慢性公共卫生问题，以及卫生中心如何发挥社区和经济发展催化剂的作用。
Oakland Chinatown holds the record for the highest number of pedestrian and vehicle accidents in the City of Oakland. In response, Asian Health Services embarked on a local campaign focused on increasing awareness among community members about pedestrian safety issues. Recognizing the limits of addressing pedestrian injuries from an educational outreach approach focused on changing individual behavior, this campaign slowly evolved into an environmental justice campaign with a community capacity building perspective. Exemplifying the tenets of the Prevention Institute's California Campaign model to address health disparities, the current campaign, now entitled Revive Chinatown!, demonstrates how an ecological system approach can more effectively address a chronic public health problem, and how health centers can function as catalysts of community and economic development.
