PROJECT SUMMARY- Community Engagement Core (CEC) The University of Kentucky Center for Appalachian Research in Environmental Sciences (UK-CARES) Community Engagement Core (CEC) will grow, maintain, and enhance strong, sustained, multidirectional community-academic partnerships that 1) support meaningful community engagement; 2) build environmental health literacy; 3) reduce environmental health risks; and 4) decrease health disparities in rural Appalachia. Decades of legacy mining and fracking operations, as well as an aging water infrastructure, have resulted in exposure to water and air contaminants which have led to community concerns about water and air quality as well as emerging environmental health threats. The CEC will build on a strong foundation of successful community engagement and support environmental health science (EHS) by connecting investigators with community partners to promote projects consistent with the three science themes of the Center—(a) Health Impacts of Waterborne Contaminants; (b) Health Impacts of Indoor & Outdoor Airborne Contaminants; and (c) Emerging Environmental Health Threats. The CEC will use an iterative multidirectional process that brings local knowledge into the Center, leverages UK-CARES’ investigator strengths and institutional support, reports back research findings with at-risk communities, and encourages solution-focused communication among community and organizational stakeholders. Specifically, the aims of the CEC are to: 1) foster and cultivate multidirectional community-academic partnerships engaged in UK-CARES research that is responsive to regional environmental health issues, needs and concerns; 2) translate and disseminate EHS findings through science communication and advocacy training to foster clinical decision making and policy formation; and 3) strengthen partnerships with community and healthcare stakeholders in UK-CARES’ environmental health research across the translational spectrum. First, we will engage our Stakeholder Advisory Board members to offer culturally appropriate insight that will inform and assist Center investigators in their research. The CEC will use formal (e.g., focus groups) and informal (e.g., listening sessions) means to engage in multi-directional dialogue with community stakeholders to assess environmental health concerns. In turn, the CEC will serve as a bridge to and from the community to facilitate community engagement in EHS that leverages the strengths of UK-CARES and is responsive to community concerns. Second, will provide training in effective science communication and advocacy with healthcare providers, faculty, and community stakeholders. We will build on our impactful science communication training curriculum to prepare scientists for effective multi-modal dissemination of findings, including use of evidence-based advocacy skills with policymakers. Lastly, we will collaborate with the Integrated Health Sciences Facility Core to create tailored multi-modal report back approaches to reach healthcare providers to promote clinical decision making related to how the environment affects health in the region, and policymakers, to promote policy formation that fosters environmental justice.

项目摘要 - 社区参与核心（CEC） 肯塔基大学阿巴拉契亚环境科学研究中心（英国 - 卡雷斯） 社区参与核心（CEC）将增长，维护和增强强，持续，多向 社区学术伙伴关系1）支持有意义的社区参与； 2）建立环境 健康素养； 3）降低环境健康风险； 4）降低阿巴拉契亚粗暴的健康差异。 数十年的传统采矿和压裂操作以及老化的水基础设施已导致 暴露于水和空气污染物，这引起了社区对水和空气质量的关注 以及新兴的环境健康威胁。 CEC将基于成功的强大基础 通过将调查人员与社区参与和支持环境健康科学（EHS）联系 社区合作伙伴促进与该中心三个科学主题一致的项目 - （a）健康 水传播污染物的影响； （b）室内和室外空降污染物的健康影响； （c） 新兴的环境健康威胁。 CEC将使用带来的迭代多向过程 据报道 具有高危社区的返回研究结果，并鼓励以解决方案为中心的沟通 社区和组织利益相关者。具体而言，CEC的目的是：1）培养和培养 从事英国 - 卡雷斯研究的多向社区学术伙伴关系，对 区域环境健康问题，需求和关注； 2）通过翻译和传播EHS的发现 科学沟通和倡导培训以促进临床决策和政策形成； 3） 加强与英国环境健康中社区和医疗保健利益相关者的合作伙伴关系 跨翻译光谱的研究。首先，我们将与利益相关者咨询委员会成员聘请 提供具有文化上适当的见解，可以为中心调查人员提供研究。 CEC 将使用正式（例如焦点小组）和非正式（例如听力会议）的意思来参与多方向 与社区利益相关者对话，以评估环境健康问题。反过来，CEC将作为 与社区的桥梁，以促进社区参与EHS，以利用 英国 - 卡雷斯，对社区的关注有回应。第二，将提供有效科学的培训 与医疗保健提供者，教职员工和社区利益相关者的沟通和倡导。我们将基础 我们有影响力的科学沟通培训课程，以使科学家为有效的多模式做好准备 传播发现，包括使用政策制定者使用基于证据的倡导技能。最后，我们会的 与综合健康科学设施核心合作，创建量身定制的多模式报告 接触医疗保健提供者的方法，以促进与环境如何相关的临床决策 影响该地区的健康和政策制定者，以促进促进环境正义的政策形成。
