项目摘要

Core Summary/Abstract The Community Engagement Core (CEC) facilitates bi-directional knowledge exchange between our Superfund Research Center (SRC) and local communities to reduce cumulative impacts, improve nutrition and lower health disparities in disadvantaged neighborhoods of San Diego County, Imperial County and the U.S.-Mexico border region including rural and tribal lands. By empowering youth, conducting workshops, collaborating with communities to develop further research and interventions, developing culturally responsive multimedia science communication tools, and modeling innovative best practices in community engagement, the CEC extends the reach and impact of the science and technological innovations emanating from our SRC. The CEC builds the capacity of vulnerable communities in U.S. EPAs Region 9 and part of Mexico to identify, prioritize and resolve environmental and public health issues related to environmental exposures and Superfund toxicants. The overarching goal is to help prevent toxicant exposure, narrow health disparities, reduce NAFLD and TASH susceptibility, reverse the escalating increase in NAFLD and minimize the risk of TASH, especially in communities that are predominantly Hispanic and Native American. Utilizing an integrative, Sustainability Science, place-based approach with a strong commitment to civic engagement, the CEC will build on our existing community-university partnerships. We will work at sites where, for the past five years, we have been directing best practices in community engagement for exposure prevention and intervention. We are co-designing these interventions through bidirectional interaction with our community partners facilitated through our main community partner the Global Action Research Center in San Diego. The CEC will share SRC science and technology through participatory neighborhood-based educational workshops, trainings, citizen science, youth leadership development, and cumulative impact risk communication. Our approach is rooted in sustainable urban agricultural practices (community gardens and food forests) and the installation of green infrastructure (e.g., ecological landscape and biotic modifications) designed to manage/harvest stormwater and urban runoff in ways that reduce the amount of, and exposure to, urban toxicant contaminants.

核心摘要/摘要社区参与核心 (CEC) 促进我们的超级基金之间的双向知识交流研究中心 (SRC) 和当地社区减少累积影响、改善营养并降低健康水平圣地亚哥县、因皮里尔县和美墨边境贫困社区的差异地区，包括农村和部落土地。通过赋予青年权力、举办研讨会、与社区开展进一步的研究和干预，发展文化响应多媒体科学 CEC 扩展了沟通工具和社区参与创新最佳实践模型我们的 SRC 所产生的科技创新的影响力。 CEC 打造美国 EPA 9 区和墨西哥部分地区的弱势社区识别、优先排序和解决问题的能力与环境暴露和超级基金毒物相关的环境和公共卫生问题。这总体目标是帮助预防有毒物质暴露、缩小健康差距、减少 NAFLD 和 TASH 易感性，扭转 NAFLD 的不断增加，并最大限度地降低 TASH 的风险，特别是在主要是西班牙裔和美洲原住民的社区。利用综合性、可持续性 CEC 将采用科学、基于地方的方法，并坚定地致力于公民参与社区与大学的伙伴关系。我们将在过去五年中一直指导的地点工作社区参与接触预防和干预的最佳实践。我们正在共同设计这些通过与我们的社区合作伙伴的双向互动进行干预，这是通过我们的主要圣地亚哥全球行动研究中心的社区合作伙伴。 CEC 将分享 SRC 科学和通过参与式邻里教育讲习班、培训、公民科学、青年技术领导力发展和累积影响风险沟通。我们的方法植根于可持续城市农业实践（社区花园和食用林）和绿色基础设施的安装（例如，生态景观和生物改造）旨在以某种方式管理/收集雨水和城市径流减少城市有毒污染物的数量和接触。
