项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The World Health Organization estimates that 24% of the global burden of disease stems from environmental exposures. In Colombia, air pollution remains the most pervasive environmental factor affecting morbidity and mortality, with approximately, 6000 deaths/year attributed to outdoor and 1100 more to indoor air pollution. Additionally, Colombia has the highest landslide-related risk of death in South America, and climate change may exacerbate this risk. Poorly designed cities also pose other health risks related to chronic diseases, which represent 76% of total disability adjusted life years in Colombia. The contribution of environmental and occupational exposures to the burden of chronic diseases in low- and middle-income countries remains uncertain. We therefore propose to determine priorities for policy-relevant research and training in climate change, air quality, and the urban environment for this 2-year planning grant. We will convene a network of investigators and institutions to establish a 5-year strategic plan for analysis and capacity building activities of a new global environmental and occupational health (GEOHealth) Hub. Our overarching goal is to design an interdisciplinary GEOHealth) Hub to serve the Latin American region. To achieve this goal, we will pursue three Aims: 1) Too assess the needs and opportunities in the area of environmental and occupational health within Colombia; 2) To establish a collaborative network of investigators and institutions addressing GEOHealth issues for the purpose of conducting advanced research and developing comprehensive training programs; in so doing, we will create a center of excellence in this scientific domain for the region; and 3) To formulate a plan for research and capacity building, based on results from Aims 1 and 2, that will define the early agenda of the GEOHealth hub for the development and long-term sustainability of focused efforts in the field of global environmental and occupational health, sorely needed to inform both near and long-term policy decisions. The proposed GEOHealth hub closely matches current Colombian environmental goals and would generate the knowledge and training needed to achieve informed, science-based environmental health decision-making. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Environmental exposures contribute substantially to chronic diseases in Latin America. Health risks from climate change, air pollution and poorly designed cities have been identified concerns for Colombia. We will conduct a needs and opportunities assessment from an institutional consortium to plan for a Global Environmental & Occupational Health (GEOHealth) Hub for Colombia and the broader region.

描述（由申请人提供）：世界卫生组织估计，全球疾病负担的24％来自环境暴露。在哥伦比亚，空气污染仍然是影响发病率和死亡率的最普遍的环境因素，大约有6000例死亡归因于室外，还有1100人造成室内空气污染。此外，哥伦比亚在南美的压倒性人数最高，气候变化可能会加剧这种风险。设计较差的城市还构成了与慢性疾病有关的其他健康风险，占哥伦比亚总残疾调整寿命的76％。环境和职业暴露对低收入和中等收入国家慢性疾病负担的贡献仍然不确定。因此，我们建议确定这项为期两年计划赠款的气候变化，空气质量和城市环境中与政策相关的研究和培训的优先事项。我们将召集一个调查人员和机构网络，以制定一项为期5年的全球环境和职业健康（GeoHealth）中心的分析和能力建设活动的战略计划。我们的总体目标是设计一个跨学科的地卫生枢纽，以服务于拉丁美洲地区。为了实现这一目标，我们将追求三个目标：1）也评估哥伦比亚境内环境和职业健康领域的需求和机会； 2）建立一个协作网络为了进行高级的目的，针对地理健康问题的调查人员和机构研究和制定全面的培训计划；这样一来，我们将为该地区的科学领域创建一个卓越的中心。 3）制定研究计划和基于AIM 1和2的结果，能力建设将定义Geohealth枢纽的早期议程，以发展和长期可持续性在全球环境和职业健康领域的重点努力，这是迫切需要为近期和长期政策决策提供迫切需要的。拟议的地卫生枢纽与当前的哥伦比亚环境目标密切相匹配，并将产生实现知情的，基于科学的环境健康决策所需的知识和培训。公共卫生相关性：环境暴露对拉丁美洲的慢性疾病产生了重大贡献。气候变化，空气污染和设计不佳的城市的健康风险已被确定对哥伦比亚的担忧。我们将对机构财团进行需求和机会评估，以计划为哥伦比亚和更广泛地区的全球环境与职业健康（GeoHealth）中心。
