Community Outreach and Engagement Core (COEC) Abstract The COEC of the Center of Excellence in Environmental Toxicology (CEET) engages communities, health care professionals, decision makers and individuals in a collaborative process to select problems that CEET research teams and its network with other Environmental Health Science Core Centers (EHS CCs) can investigate to provide tools that will eliminate or mitigate adverse public health impacts to vulnerable populations. Our regional focus is on the aging infrastructure of post-industrialized cities and the new and unique challenges of rural communities in Pennsylvania that are undergoing rapid industrialization due to hydraulic fracturing for natural gas. Many of the impacted communities meet the criteria of Environmental Justice Communities and are faced with significant health disparities. The COEC engages these communities through a "Targeted Community Model" in which we learn about community problems first and then tackle environmental health problems. The COEC has a proven track-record in Community-Based Participatory Research (CBRP) and developed a "Community-First Communication Model" in which results from CBPR are disseminated to the affected community first to empower the community to affect change. The COEC has used this model successfully to build translational research teams which utilize the resources of the Integrative Health Sciences Facility Core and its human population exposure group to design studies and develop a communication plan. The mission of the COEC is further accomplished through the following discrete aims: (i) use the Stakeholders Advisory Board to prioritize COEC activities; (ii) use our Targeted Communities model to communicate environmental health (EH) information in a manner that can improve public health; (iii) communicate EH problems experienced by our community audiences to set the research agenda of the CEET; (iv) educate new health care professionals in EHS to build capacity in occupational environmental medicine to serve communities; (v) translate and disseminate research information into public health knowledge; (vi) advance the field of community engagement by the development of innovative models; (vii) create and disseminate new education materials; (ix) collaborate with other COEC's; and (x) evaluate the success of COEC using logic models. The COEC team is led by Dr. Marilyn Howarth who has >25 years' experience as an occupational and environmental health physician and by Mr. Richard Pepino who has >25 years' experience in environmental policy and regulatory science.

社区外展和参与核心 (COEC) 摘要 环境毒理学卓越中心 (CEET) 的 COEC 吸引社区、医疗保健 专业人士、决策者和个人在协作过程中选择 CEET 需要解决的问题 研究团队及其与其他环境健康科学核心中心 (EHS CC) 的网络可以 进行调查以提供消除或减轻对弱势群体不利的公共卫生影响的工具 人口。我们的区域重点是后工业化城市的老化基础设施以及新的和 宾夕法尼亚州正在经历快速工业化的农村社区面临着独特的挑战 天然气水力压裂。许多受影响的社区都符合环境标准 司法社区面临着巨大的健康差异。 COEC 让这些社区参与其中 通过“针对性社区模型”，我们首先了解社区问题，然后解决 环境健康问题。 COEC 在社区参与方面拥有良好的记录 研究 (CBRP) 并开发了“社区优先沟通模型”，其中 CBPR 的结果是 首先向受影响的社区传播，以增强社区影响变革的能力。 COEC已使用 该模型成功地建立了利用综合资源的转化研究团队 健康科学设施核心及其人群暴露小组设计研究并开发 沟通计划。 COEC 的使命通过以下具体目标进一步实现：(i) 利用利益相关者咨询委员会确定 COEC 活动的优先顺序； (ii) 使用我们的目标社区模型 以能够改善公众健康的方式传达环境健康 (EH) 信息； (三) 交流社区受众遇到的 EH 问题，以制定 CEET 的研究议程； (iv) 对新的卫生保健专业人员进行 EHS 教育，以建设职业环境医学能力， 服务社区； (v) 将研究信息转化并传播为公共卫生知识； (六) 通过开发创新模式推进社区参与领域； (七) 创建和 传播新的教育材料； (ix) 与其他 COEC 合作； (x) 评估是否成功 COEC 使用逻辑模型。 COEC 团队由 Marilyn Howarth 博士领导，她拥有超过 25 年的经验 Richard Pepino 先生是一名职业和环境健康医生，拥有超过 25 年的经验 环境政策和监管科学方面的经验。
