Addressing EOH Threats in the Caribbean: Caribbean Public Health Agency (CARPHA) Annual Health Research Conference A preliminary assessment of key environmental and occupational health (EOH) challenges of CARPHA member countries conducted during the 2017 CARPHA Annual Health Research Conference revealed four key issues in the region: water contamination, air quality, climate change, and a lack of EOH policies. CARPHA represents 24 member states with18 M population and over 90% racial and ethnic minorities. The proposed workshop builds on the Caribbean Consortium for Research in Environmental and Occupational Health (U2RTW010104; U01TW010087) established to address high-priority environmental and occupational health risks in Suriname and those common to the increasingly vulnerable Caribbean region while preserving the unique assets, health, and cultural traditions of indigenous and other health disparate populations. The overall goal of the proposal is to build a cadre of minority EOH scientists serving vulnerable Caribbean LMICs to address urgent EOH threats. The objectives are to1) Address key EOH threats and potential interventions that impact vulnerable populations in Caribbean countries, with special emphasis on the consequences of water-related pollution and changing environments on human health; 2) Strengthen the capacity of LMICs to address urgent EOH threats. The proposed conference's longer term strategy is to strengthen EOH capacity in the Caribbean through: 1) a one-day EOH research training workshop preceding CARPHA's Annual Health Research Conference; 2) participation in the full CARPHA conference and especially the EOH track; and 3) quarterly interactive webinars. The technical content targets water contamination and climate change. The 1-day workshop addresses both areas through case-based learning and interactive exercises. The interactive webinars will be designed to encourage sharing specific EOH threats in these two foci and discuss common solutions and intervention strategies. The target audiences are Caribbean public sector and academic EOH specialists. Participant selection will be based on participant's role in EOH research, policy and practice in their respective countries, 2) attendance at full CARPHA conference, 3) webinar participation, and 4) financial need for travel funds. Dissemination through CARPHA's dissemination platform, the annual conference, webinars, and national and international conferences. To evaluate the quality and effectiveness in relation to intended outcomes, we will monitor progress against a timeline and a logic model.

在加勒比海地区解决EOH威胁：加勒比公共卫生局（Carpha） 年度健康研究会议 对关键环境和职业健康（EOH）挑战的初步评估 Carpha成员国在2017年Carpha年度健康研究中进行 会议揭示了该地区的四个关键问题：水污染，空气质量，气候 变革和缺乏EOH政策。 Carpha代表24个成员国，有18 m 人口以及超过90％的种族和少数民族。拟议的研讨会建立在 加勒比环境和职业健康研究联盟 （U2RTW010104; U01TW010087）建立以解决高优先级环境和 苏里南的职业健康风险，以及日益脆弱的人 加勒比地区同时保留了独特的资产，健康和文化传统 土著和其他健康不同的人群。该提议的总体目标是建立一个 少数民族EOH科学家的干部为脆弱的加勒比LMIC服务以解决紧急EOH 威胁。目标是1）解决关键的EOH威胁和潜在干预措施 影响加勒比国家的脆弱人群，特别强调 与水有关的污染和不断变化的人类健康环境的后果； 2） 加强LMIC解决紧急EOH威胁的能力。拟议的会议 长期策略是通过：1）一日 Carpha年度健康研究会议之前的研究培训研讨会； 2） 参加完整的Carpha会议，尤其是EOH赛道； 3）季度 交互式网络研讨会。技术内容针对水污染和气候变化。 为期1天的研讨会通过基于案例的学习和互动式来解决这两个领域 练习。交互式网络研讨会将旨在鼓励分享特定的EOH威胁 在这两个焦点中，并讨论常见的解决方案和干预策略。目标 观众是加勒比海公共部门和学术EOH专家。参与者选择将 基于参与者在各自国家的EOH研究，政策和实践中的作用， 2）参加完整的Carpha会议，3）网络研讨会和4）财务需求 旅行资金。通过Carpha的传播平台传播，年度会议， 网络研讨会以及国家和国际会议。评估质量和有效性 关于预期的结果，我们将根据时间轴和逻辑模型监视进度。
