Community Engagement Core

摘要 我们的CEC目标是促进和加强合作，以满足社区的需求，与 改善城乡社区卫生和公共卫生实践的总体愿景和目标 受环境影响的社区比例过高。我们的利益相关者包括城市和 农村社区、决策者、环境资源管理人员和公共卫生专业人员。关键 与社区组织、部落和教育工作者建立伙伴关系，为我们的重点领域奠定基础并提供指导。 我们是一个强大的团队，在研究翻译和社区参与方面拥有多种技能。2019年随着 新的工作人员和即将上任的联合主任，我们对我们的战略的有效性进行了批判性的反思 以及我们历史性伙伴关系的力量。我们继续专注于空气质量和吸入为主 暴露，因为西雅图南部的低收入社区经历了不成比例的柴油暴露， 华盛顿东部社区面临持续的野火烟雾。我们的环境健康计划， 教师们将我们在吸入暴露方面的相关工作进一步集中在对健康影响的课程上， vaping. 我们准备通过有影响力的项目，研究翻译和影响来深化和扩展我们的工作 评估，包括通过我们加强对灾害研究响应（DR2）的关注。在未来五 多年来，我们将发展我们的DR2工作领域，培养我们的实践社区，并提供当地，全州， 和国家领导。除了在科学传播和研究翻译方面不断取得卓越成就外， 我们的CEC还将正式成立一个社区响应研究实验室。随着这一资源的开发， 我们将加强我们与研究人员联系社区的能力，这些研究人员可以支持社区驱动的 项目在整个过程中，我们利用我们的专业知识和优势，以提高环境健康素养 促进环境公共卫生。

ABSTRACT Our CEC objective is to facilitate and enhance collaborations that are responsive to community needs, with the overarching vision and aim of improving community health and public health practice for urban and rural communities disproportionately impacted by environmental exposures. Our stakeholders include urban and rural communities, policy-makers, environmental resource managers, and public health professionals. Key partnerships with community-based organizations, tribes, and educators ground and guide our areas of focus. We are a robust team with diverse skill sets in research translation and community engagement. In 2019, with new staff and incoming co-director, we engaged in critical reflection about the effectiveness of our strategies to-date and the strength of our historic partnerships. We continue to focus on air quality and inhalation-based exposures, as low-income communities in south Seattle experience disproportionate diesel exposures and eastern Washington communities face persistent wildfire smoke. Our environmental health programs with teachers carry our related work on inhalation exposures focus further with lessons on the health impacts of vaping. We are poised to deepen and extend our work through impactful projects, research translation and impact assessment, including through our enhanced focus on disaster research response (DR2). Over the next five years, we will grow our DR2 areas of work, fostering our community of practice and providing local, statewide, and national leadership. In addition to ongoing excellence in science communication and research translation, our CEC will also formalize a Community Responsive Research Lab. With the development of this resource, we will enhance our ability to connect communities with researchers who can support community-driven projects. Throughout, we leverage our expertise and EDGE strengths to enhance environmental health literacy and promote environmental public health.
