SUMMARY ABSTRACT Paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) is a serious illness that disproportionately affects Alaska Native communities. Sitka Tribe of Alaska has organized an environmental monitoring program and seafood safety testing program along with other regional partners (called SEATOR: Southeast Alaska Tribal Ocean Research) to reduce the burden of PSP disease in Southeast Alaska. This grant seeks to augment SEATOR's ongoing efforts, through additional data collection and partnerships with the Sitka School District and Emory University. Collecting additional years of PSP toxin monitoring data using the same protocols as today will allow a time- series analysis to inform a cutting-edge forecasting model that will give Southeast Alaska residents warning of especially risky subsistence shellfish harvest times, and thereby prevent poisonings. Collecting new data on specific kinds of PSP toxins (rather than only measuring the presence or absence of any PSP toxin) can clarify which other settings around the world are most similar (e.g., by comparing toxin profiles). This is important because PSP is a global health problem and there are other locations that could benefit from an informative prediction model, or that might be able to provide useful information for developing this region's model. SEATOR will continue training members of the community via workshops on how to collect and process samples per the citizen science framework of the ongoing work. This project also includes planned K12 educational interventions to target PSP prevention messages to youth at particular risk of PSP toxicity, while also promoting science education and traditional lifeways. This project is fully community-based participatory research (CBPR) building on existing tribal organization programs, with employment and skills-training opportunities for members of the community, to meet community-prioritized needs and to address this health disparity.

摘要摘要 瘫痪贝类中毒（PSP）是一种严重的疾病，对阿拉斯加本地人影响不成比例 社区。阿拉斯加的Sitka Tribe组织了环境监测计划和海鲜安全 与其他区域合作伙伴一起测试计划（称为SETOR：阿拉斯加东南部部落海洋研究） 减轻阿拉斯加东南部PSP疾病的负担。该赠款旨在增加Seator的持续 通过与Sitka学区和埃默里大学建立其他数据收集和合作伙伴关系的努力。 使用与今天相同的协议收集多年的PSP毒素监测数据将允许时间 - 系列分析以告知一个尖端的预测模型，该模型将向阿拉斯加东南居民发出警告 特别有风险的生存贝类收获时间，从而防止中毒。收集新数据 特定种类的PSP毒素（而不是仅测量任何PSP毒素的存在或不存在）可以澄清 世界各地的其他设置最相似（例如，通过比较毒素概况）。这很重要 因为PSP是一个全球健康问题，并且还有其他一些地方可以从信息丰富的信息中受益 预测模型，或者可能能够为开发该地区模型提供有用的信息。 Seator将通过研讨会继续培训社区成员，以了解如何收集和处理 根据正在进行的工作的公民科学框架的样本。该项目还包括计划的K12 以PSP毒性为特殊风险的年轻人，将预防PSP预防信息针对的教育干预措施，而 还促进科学教育和传统的生活。该项目是完全基于社区的参与者 在现有部落组织计划的基础上进行研究（CBPR），并进行就业和技能培训 社区成员的机会，满足社区优先化的需求并解决这种健康 差距。
