COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT CORE: PROJECT SUMMARY The mission of the Community Outreach and Engagement Core (COEC) is to increase public understanding and awareness of the effects of the environment on human health by engaging Center members, identifying and sharing ways to reduce harmful environmental exposures with the public, and linking Center research and scientists with policy makers, communities, schools, public health officials, media, and other professional constituencies. The COEC addresses transportation-related air pollution identified by key Center research in Southern California: significant traffic and poor air quality; emissions from the country's largest marine ports; and health effects from living near busy roads or having children attend schools near freeways. The COEC is integral to the Center's goals and serves as a national leader in and model for engagement with communities—especially those which consist primarily of Latinos and African-Americans living under economic hardship and facing disproportionate adverse health outcomes. By expanding its focus in response to new Center research showing that communities directly under the flight path east of Los Angeles International Airport are heavily impacted by aircraft emissions, the COEC now includes communities under the flight path of airports in addition to its ongoing analysis of impacts from proposed expansions of two freeways Southern California. With active involvement from Center members, the COEC contributes to improving the environmental health literacy of the public, health professionals and policymakers in Los Angeles and California by regularly speaking at public hearings and analyzing environmental impact reports of proposed infrastructure projects (e.g., marine terminals and rail yards); updating stakeholders on the latest science using state-of-the-art communications techniques; and engaging the power of communities in evaluating policies to reduce environmental health burdens. Besides enhancing environmental health literacy, COEC activities have built community capacity resulting in recognition of Center research in policy decision-making, playing a central role in putting EH on the Southern California transportation and urban planning agenda and serving as a respected source of scientific information for stakeholders when developing science-based policies at port, land use regulation and discussion of near-roadway land use.1 In sum, the COEC is an integral function of the Center as demonstrated by its successful outreach methods utilizing local, national and international print and broadcast media; dissemination of information via blogs, website, and social media; innovative engagement and translation methods such as developing infographics and visual presentations of information in understandable terms; and expansion of “citizen science” programs in which youth and community members monitor air pollution.

社区宣传与参与核心：项目摘要 社区宣传与参与核心（COEC）的使命是增加公众的理解 通过参与中心成员，确定环境对环境对人类健康的影响的认识 并分享与公众减少有害环境暴露的方法，并将中心研究联系起来 政策制定者，社区，学校，公共卫生官员，媒体和其他专业人士的科学家 选区。 COEC解决了关键中心研究确定的与运输相关的空气污染 南加州：交通巨大，空气质量差；该国最大的海洋港口的排放； 以及在繁忙的道路附近生活或让儿童参加高速公路附近的学校的健康影响。 COEC是 与该中心的目标不可或缺的一组 社区，尤其是主要由生活在经济下的拉丁裔和非裔美国人组成的社区 苦难和面临不成比例的不利健康结果。通过扩大重点以回应新的 中心研究表明，洛杉矶国际以东的飞行路径下的社区 机场受到飞机排放的严重影响，COEC现在包括在飞行路径下的社区 除了对拟议扩建南部两条高速公路的影响的持续分析之外，机场除了进行分析 加利福尼亚。随着中心成员的积极参与，COEC有助于改善 洛杉矶公共，卫生专业人员和政策制定者的环境健康素养 加利福尼亚定期在公开听证会上演讲并分析拟议的环境影响报告 基础设施项目（例如，海洋码头和铁路场）；使用最新科学的利益相关者使用 最先进的通信技术；并让社区的力量评估政策 减少环境健康伯恩斯。除了增强环境健康素养外，COEC活动还 建立社区能力，导致认识到政策决策中心研究，发挥中心 将EH放在南加州运输和城市规划Agernda中的作用，并担任 在港口制定基于科学的政策时，尊敬的利益相关者的科学信息来源， 土地使用法规和对近公路土地使用的讨论。1总的来说，COEC是不可或缺的功能 通过本地，国家和国际印刷的成功推广方法证明的中心 广播媒体；通过博客，网站和社交媒体传播信息；创新的参与 以及翻译方法，例如在 可以理解的术语；以及扩大青年和社区成员的“公民科学”计划 监测空气污染。
