项目摘要

The goals of the Community Outreach and Education Core (COEC) are to: ¿ promote environmental health in rural Midwestern communities and other vulnerable populations, ¿ deliver appropriate, science and technology-based information and ¿ translate environmental health research results into knowledge for our community members. The COEC at the EHSRC promotes widespread dissemination of environmental health research of the Center. As the Center has matured to focus on environmental airway disease, so has this outreach. Four areas are of particular focus: asthma, radon, air emissions from animal agriculture, and renewable energy's role in reducing fossil fuel emissions. As described in Strategic Vision (Chapter 1 of this application), Midwestern communities and especially vulnerable populations and community organizations in a wide geographical area of the central United States deserve the most current, appropriate, science and technology-based information which we seek to provide. However, the COEC also serves as a local, state, national and international resource for rural environmental health. Rural Americans at increased risk from a number of agricultural and rural environmental hazards and exposures, have less access to health care providers, and generally have more adverse health outcomes than Americans living in urban areas. Farmers, farm family members, children, the elderly, and the poor are at particular risk for rural and environmental diseases and injuries. The COEC channels the diverse environmental health capabilities of the EHSRC toward meeting the educational needs of the broader community, promoting environmental health, and serving America's heartland as a technical resource to assist in making environmental health policy.

社区外展和教育核心 (COEC) 的目标是： ¿促进中西部农村社区和其他弱势群体的环境健康， ¿提供适当的、基于科学和技术的信息， ¿将环境健康研究成果转化为社区成员的知识。 EHSRC 的 COEC 促进环境健康研究的广泛传播由于该中心已成熟地专注于环境气道疾病，因此该中心的外展活动也已成熟。特别关注的领域有：哮喘、氡气、畜牧业空气排放以及可再生能源如战略愿景（本申请的第一章）所述，中西部社区，特别是广泛的弱势群体和社区组织美国中部的地理区域值得拥有最新、适当、科学和我们寻求提供基于技术的信息。然而，COEC 也充当地方、州、国家和国际农村环境健康资源。美国农村地区面临许多农业和农村环境危害的风险增加暴露，接触医疗保健提供者的机会较少，并且通常会产生更多不利的健康结果比居住在城市地区的美国人、农场家庭成员、儿童、老人和穷人要多。农村和环境疾病和伤害的特别风险 COEC 引导不同的人群。 EHSRC 的环境健康能力，以满足人们的教育需求更广泛的社区，促进环境健康，并作为美国的中心地带服务协助制定环境卫生政策的技术资源。
