Community Outreach Core: Tribal-University Collaboration to Address Tribal Exposures to PAHs and Improve Community Health. The goal of the Community Outreach Core is to apply the knowledge gained from our SBRP to better understand health risks associated with PAH exposure on the Umatilla Indian Reservation and to assist in human capacity building with Tribal partners. This will be accomplished through a collaborative project that includes the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation (CTUIR) Tribal agencies, Tribal and University investigators, and Tribal community members. The CTUIR and many other U.S. Tribes are engaged in traditional and cultural practices that may result in increased risk of disease due to cumulative PAH exposures from traditionally-smoked foods, air exposure from traditional smoking of foods, and ambient air pollution. Tribal members cannot give up their culture and religion or move from their homelands in order to avoid contaminants. Thus, it is critically important for them to develop the capacity to better understand the nature of these exposures, and to be engaged in the development and communication of culturally appropriate and practical risk reduction strategies. The specific aims of the Outreach Core are to: 1) establish and convene an interdisciplinary advisory group representing Tribal and government agencies, and other members who will add additional expertise in tribal cultural lifestyles and culturally-appropriate risk reduction measures; 2) engage in human capacity building with the Umatilla Tribal partners and identify opportunities to better assess PAH exposure pathways specific and relevant to their traditional and cultural practices; 3) develop culturally appropriate risk reduction approaches and outreach strategies that offer the best opportunity for improved health. This Outreach Core builds on strengths and resources within the Tribal community, and will facilitative a collaborative, equitable partnership in all phases of the project. Direct capacity building activities will be carried out with the CTUIR Department of Science and Engineering, and will be informed by an interdisciplinary advisory group representing tribal entities. The approach that evolves from this Core will serve as a model to help other Tribal communities evaluate their PAH exposures and design risk reduction strategies that are protective of public health.

社区外展核心：部落与大学合作，解决部落接触多环芳烃的问题并改善社区健康。 社区外展核心的目标是应用从 SBRP 获得的知识，更好地了解与尤马蒂拉印第安保留地多环芳烃暴露相关的健康风险，并协助部落合作伙伴进行人员能力建设。这将通过一个合作项目来完成，该项目包括尤马蒂拉印第安保留地联盟部落 (CTUIR) 部落机构、部落和大学调查人员以及部落社区成员。 CTUIR 和许多其他美国部落所从事的传统和文化习俗可能会因传统熏制食品中累积的 PAH 暴露、传统熏制食品中的空气暴露以及环境空气污染而导致疾病风险增加。部落成员不能为了避免污染而放弃自己的文化和宗教或离开家园。因此，对他们来说，培养更好地理解这些风险的性质的能力，并参与制定和交流文化上适当且实用的风险降低策略至关重要。外展核心的具体目标是：1) 建立并召集一个代表部落和政府机构的跨学科咨询小组，以及 其他成员将增加部落文化生活方式和适合文化的风险降低措施方面的额外专业知识； 2) 与尤马蒂拉部落合作伙伴一起开展人员能力建设，并寻找机会更好地评估与其传统和文化习俗相关的特定多环芳烃暴露途径； 3) 制定适合文化的风险降低方法和外展策略，为改善健康提供最佳机会。该外展核心建立在部落社区内的优势和资源之上，并将促进项目所有阶段的协作、公平的伙伴关系。直接能力建设活动将与 CTUIR 科学与工程部一起开展，并由代表部落实体的跨学科咨询小组提供信息。从该核心发展而来的方法将作为一个模型，帮助其他部落社区评估其多环芳烃暴露并设计保护公众健康的风险降低策略。
