Project Summary This proposal seeks to engage high-school aged youth in establishing schools as clean air environments during and beyond wildfire season. This training and research plan will build upon Dr. D’Evelyn’s expertise in air pollution toxicology and community based participatory research (CBPR) and prepare her for a career in environmental health science and implementation science at the nexus of climate, health, and community action. During the K99 mentored phase, Dr. D’Evelyn will utilize the expertise from her thoughtfully assembled mentorship team and course-based learning to gain training in: 1) best practices in CBPR and Youth Participatory Action Research (YPAR); 2) qualitative methodology, implementation science and evaluation; and 3) exposure science to address health equity questions in a community setting. This training will provide Dr. D’Evelyn with interdisciplinary skills as she moves toward an academic career in independent research. Over the course of the K99 phase, Dr. D’Evelyn will expand air quality knowledge in schools through implementation of an air quality curriculum and a youth-led air quality monitoring network. Aim 1 will establish a permanent monitoring network in the school community which will enable students to collect, analyze and disseminate information about their school’s air quality with the goal of increasing education and awareness of the health impacts of exposure to wildfire smoke. This work will build upon Dr. D’Evelyn’s previous experience working with high school students and will enable her to translate her expertise in air pollution toxicology into an understandable, place-based curriculum to improve awareness and student self-efficacy in smoke-impacted communities. Educational and behavioral outcomes from this aim will be measured through observations and a pre/post survey given to students and teachers to evaluate the impact of their involvement in the project. Upon completion of the K99 phase of this award, Dr. D’Evelyn will move into the R00 phase in which she will complete Aims 2 & 3 that will transition her to an independent researcher. The R00 phase will focus on air quality interventions, implementation science, and evaluation. In Aim 2, Dr. D’Evelyn will continue to foster youth engagement through co-development of an intervention plan that will address the specific exposure concerns of each school community. She will then work with students and school administrators to support implementation of this plan, utilizing the new implementation science skills and knowledge she gained during the training phase. Aim 3 will conclude this independent phase with a full evaluation of the effectiveness of a YPAR project to: 1) reduce exposure to wildfire smoke and other airborne pollutants; and 2) improve community health and health equity in schools impacted by wildfire smoke. This project will describe the impact of a YPAR-based environmental health intervention and implementation program, and work toward a program that could be implemented in any school, regardless of the location or resources available.

项目摘要 该建议旨在让高中年龄的年轻人参与建立学校的清洁空气环境 在野火期间和之后。该培训和研究计划将基于D'Evelyn博士的专业知识 空气污染毒理学和基于社区的参与研究（CBPR），并为她的职业做好准备 环境健康科学与实施科学，气候，卫生和社区联系 行动。在K99修补阶段，D'Evelyn博士将利用她的经过深思熟虑的专业知识 Menorship团队和基于课程的学习以获得培训：1）CBPR和青年的最佳实践 参与式行动研究（YPAR）； 2）定性方法，实施科学和评估；和 3）在社区环境中解决健康公平问题的暴露科学。该培训将为博士提供。 当D'Evelyn跨学科技能迈向独立研究的学术生涯。超过 在K99阶段的过程中，D'Evelyn博士将通过实施扩展学校中的空中质量知识 空气质量课程和青年领导的空气质量监测网络。 AIM 1将建立永久性 监视学校社区的网络，这将使学生能够收集，分析和传播 有关他们学校空气质量的信息，目的是增加教育和对健康的认识 暴露于野火烟雾的影响。这项工作将基于D'Evelyn博士以前的工作经验 与高中生一起，将使她能够将她在空气污染毒理学方面的专业知识转化为 可以理解的，基于地点的课程，以提高烟雾影响的知名度和学生的自我效能感 社区。该目标的教育和行为成果将通过观察和一个 对学生和老师进行的调查，以评估他们参与项目的影响。之上 完成该奖项的K99阶段的完成，D'Evelyn博士将进入R00阶段 完整的目标2和3将把她转变为独立的研究人员。 R00阶段将集中在空气上 质量干预，实施科学和评估。在AIM 2中，D'Evelyn博士将继续培养 通过共同开发干预计划的青年参与，该计划将解决特定的暴露 每个学校社区的关注点。然后，她将与学生和学校管理员合作以支持 实施本计划，使用她在 训练阶段。 AIM 3将包括这个独立阶段，并对A的有效性进行全面评估 YPAR项目：1）减少暴露于野火烟雾和其他空气传播污染物； 2）改进 受野火烟影响的学校的社区健康和健康公平。该项目将描述影响 基于YPAR的环境健康干预和实施计划，并致力于计划 无论可用的位置或资源如何，都可以在任何学校中实施。
