PROJECT SUMMARY (See instructions): Community Engagement Core: Tribal-University Evaluation of Chemical Exposures to Improve Community Health The Community Engagement Core will facilitate collaborations among OSU researchers and Native American Tribes in the Pacific Northwest to address Tribal concerns regarding exposure to chemicals in their environment, with a focus on understanding exposure pathways to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Our community partners are the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation (CTUIR), the Swinomish Indian Tribal Community, and the Samish Indian Nation. Tribal communities experience exposure to PAHs and many chemicals on the CERCLA priority list from diverse sources: they reside on reservations impacted by hazardous waste sites, they collect subsistence foods from contaminated waterways, and they gather traditional foods from contaminated lands. Housing characteristics and traditional practices such as smoking foods also contribute to their chemical exposures. The cumulative exposures from these unique pathways may increase the risk of environmentally-related disease. It is critically important that Tribal communities understand these exposures and develop culturally appropriate responses and risk reduction strategies because they cannot move from their homelands to avoid contaminants and they cannot give up their culture or their religion. In turn, the research community must develop the cultural capacity to work with Tribal communities according to the principles of community-based research. The specific aims of the Community Engagement Core are to: 1) address CTUIR concerns regarding their environmental exposures, build Tribal capacity to measure environmental pollutants, and develop risk reduction strategies that will improve health without adversely affecting cultural practices; 2) build tribal capacity in analytical methods used by the CTUIR and help both the Swinomish Tribal Indian Community and the Samish Indian Nation to improve their understanding of PAH and other chemical exposures; 3) collaborate with other SRP Centers, EPA regional offices, the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease, the Office of Tribal Affairs, and other stakeholders to disseminate our research findings and the principles of community-based environmental health research with tribal populations that reside on contaminated lands.

项目摘要（参见说明）： 社区参与核心：部落-大学对化学物质暴露的评估，以改善社区健康 社区参与核心将促进俄勒冈州立大学研究人员与太平洋西北部的美洲原住民部落之间的合作，以解决部落对其环境中化学物质暴露的担忧，重点是了解多环芳烃 (PAH) 的暴露途径。我们的社区合作伙伴包括尤马蒂拉印第安保留地联盟部落 (CTUIR)、斯维诺米什印第安部落社区和萨米什印第安民族。部落社区从不同的来源接触到多环芳烃和 CERCLA 优先清单上的许多化学品：他们居住在受危险废物场影响的保留地，他们从受污染的水道收集自给食品，并从受污染的土地收集传统食品。住房特征和传统做法（例如熏制食物）也导致他们接触化学物质。这些独特途径的累积暴露可能会增加患环境相关疾病的风险。部落社区了解这些暴露并制定适合文化的应对措施和降低风险策略至关重要，因为他们无法离开家园以避免污染物，也无法放弃自己的文化或宗教。反过来，研究界必须根据基于社区的研究原则发展与部落社区合作的文化能力。社区参与核心的具体目标是： 1) 解决 CTUIR 对环境暴露的担忧，建立部落衡量环境污染物的能力，并制定风险降低策略，以改善健康而不会对文化习俗产生不利影响； 2) 建设部落使用 CTUIR 分析方法的能力，并帮助斯维诺米什部落印第安社区和萨米什印第安民族提高对多环芳烃和其他化学品暴露的了解； 3) 与其他 SRP 中心、EPA 区域办事处、有毒物质和疾病机构、部落事务办公室和其他利益相关者合作，向居住在当地的部落人口传播我们的研究成果和基于社区的环境健康研究原则受污染的土地。
