The Community Outreach and Translation Core (COTC) proposes to serve as a bridge between the Center investigators and members of the community (e.g., community residents and leaders, school nurses and other health care providers, asthma coalitions, and policy makers) who are concerned about the impacts of air pollution on children's respiratory health. The COTC is designed to engage community support for the Center's research efforts and to enhance community collaboration on its CBPR project; to inform the public (at a local/regional/state/national level) and health care communities about the role of air pollution on childhood respiratory disease; to translate Center research findings, including the CBPR epidemiologic findings and related estimates of the burden of asthma-related disease, into public health action and policy, while evaluating the overall effectiveness of the program. The ultimate goal is to translate research findings into policies and actions that will reduce exposure of children to air pollution and reduce the incidence of environmentally related childhood airways disease. The COTC will build upon and expand existing partnerships with two community-based organizations: the Long Beach Alliance for Children with Asthma and the Center for Community Action and Environmental Justice in Riverside, which represent many diverse demographic groups from low-income, minority, and medically-underserved children to middle-class families. In both communities traffic-related pollutants and asthma are serious concerns. The COTC is targeting its efforts in two of the most ozone-polluted U.S. counties (San Bernardino, #1 most polluted and Riverside, #5 most polluted) and a city (Long Beach) where traffic counts near some study participants' homes reach 350,000 vehicles/day. The proposed COTC will develop and distribute innovative public health materials, including two documentary videos with Discussion Guides on the Center investigators' air pollution research results, utilizing varied dissemination mechanisms, such as health care provider workshops and community forums, and through asthma coalitions. The COTC will support the CBPR project in translating research results in the community, health care and policy arenas. A key to the COTC's success is development of community-driven "Neighborhood Assessment Teams," with members trained to document community assets and environmental health problems, using Community Toolboxes for Measuring Traffic-Related Pollutants, with ultrafine particle codnters, cameras, and other tools. Results of the CBPR project and its novel burden of disease analysis will be interpreted in the context of the work of these Teams and will provide the scientific basis for developing health-protective policies. Center scientists will be involved throughout the effort, providing technical assistance, speaking at forums and hearings, and evaluating the need for policy changes to better protect children's health. An evaluation of the COTC's effectiveness and of the CBPR/COTC collaborative process will be conducted.

社区外展和翻译核心（COTC）建议在中心调查员和社区成员（例如社区居民和领导人，学校护士和其他医疗保健提供者，哮喘联盟和政策制定者）​​之间成为桥梁，他们关心空气污染对儿童呼吸健康的影响。 COTC旨在吸引社区对中心研究工作的支持，并增强社区在其CBPR项目上的合作；告知公众（在地方/地区/州/国家一级）和卫生保健社区有关空气污染对儿童呼吸道疾病的作用；将中心的研究发现（包括CBPR流行病学发现以及与哮喘相关疾病负担的负担相关的估计值），同时评估该计划的整体有效性。最终目标是将研究发现转化为政策和行动，以减少儿童暴露于空气污染并减少与环境相关的儿童气道疾病的发生率。 COTC将与两个基于社区的组织建立并扩展现有的伙伴关系：哮喘儿童和河滨社区行动和环境正义中心的长滩联盟，这些联盟代表了来自低收入，少数群体和医疗服务的儿童到中产阶级家庭的许多不同的人口群体。在两个社区中 与交通有关的污染物和哮喘是严重的关注。 COTC的目标是在两个臭氧污染最多的县（圣贝纳迪诺，＃1污染和河边，＃5最受污染）和一个城市（长滩）中的努力，在某些研究参与者的房屋附近的交通数量达到350,000辆。拟议的COTC将开发和分发创新的公共卫生材料，包括两个纪录片，其中包括有关中心调查人员空气污染研究结果的讨论指南，利用各种传播机制，例如医疗保健提供者研讨会和社区论坛，以及通过哮喘联盟。 COTC将支持CBPR项目翻译社区，医疗保健和政策领域的研究结果。 COTC成功的一个关键是开发社区驱动的“邻里评估团队”，其成员培训以记录社区资产和环境健康问题，并使用社区工具箱，用于测量与交通相关的污染物，以及超级固定粒径，相机和其他工具。 CBPR项目的结果及其新的疾病分析负担将在这些团队的工作的背景下进行解释，并将为制定健康保护政策提供科学基础。中心科学家将在整个努力中参与其中，提供技术援助，在论坛和听证会上发言，并评估需要改变政策以更好地保护儿童健康的需求。将对COTC的有效性和CBPR/COTC协作过程进行评估。
