项目摘要

Abstract/Summary A report following the 2016 Environmental Health Summit recommended engaging citizens in creating their own knowledge and solutions, thus ensuring that their concerns are adequately addressed and promoting sustainability of community projects. Indeed, citizen science has the potential to initiate a cascade of events with a positive ripple effect that includes a more diverse future STEM and biomedical workforce. This SEPA proposal involves the establishment of WE ENGAGE – an informal, citizen science-based, environmental health experiential learning program designed in partnership with and for under resourced communities struggling with health and environmental health challenges. Its purpose is to actively engage and build the citizen science capacity of citizens living in a single cluster of three contiguous under resourced, minority Cincinnati neighborhoods where generational challenges continue to plague residents despite the presence of established academic-community partnerships. Our hypothesis is that community-informed, experiential learning opportunities outside of the classroom that are structured, multigenerational, and story-based will encourage a) the active asking, discussion about, and answering of relevant complex health and environmental questions so that individuals and communities can plan action steps to make better health choices and pursue healthier environments, and b) greater interest and confidence in pursuing formal biomedical/STEM education and STEM careers. Our program has three specific aims: 1) We will co-create tailored story- based (graphic novel style) STEM education materials with a community advisory board and offer informal STEM education and research training to our target communities; 2) we will facilitate the application of scientific inquiry skills to improve health via community-led health fairs that use an innovative electronic health passport platform to collect data and through facilitated community discussions of health fair data to generate motivating stories to share; and 3) we will facilitate the application of scientific inquiry skills to foster community pride and activism in promoting healthier/safer built environments via walking environmental assessments. As in aim 2, facilitated discussions will be held to spur future community based participatory research studies and interventions. Critical to our success is the concept of storytelling. Storytelling is a foundation of the human experience. A key purpose of storytelling is not just understanding the world, but positively transforming it. It is a common language. Bringing together STEM concepts in the form of a story increases their appeal and meaning. Later, the very process of community data collection gives individuals a voice. In a data story, hundreds to millions of voices can be distilled into a single narrative that can help community members probe important underlying associations and get to the root causes of complicated health issues relevant to their communities. Through place based, understandable, motivating data stories, the community's collective voice is clearer—leading to relevant and viable actions that can be decided and taken together. From preventing chronic disease, to nurturing healthier environments, to encouraging STEM education — stories have unlimited potential.

摘要/总结 2016 年环境健康峰会后的一份报告建议让公民参与创建自己的环境知识和解决方案，从而确保他们的关切得到充分解决并促进可持续发展事实上，公民科学有可能引发一系列具有积极连锁反应的事件。该 SEPA 提案涉及建立更加多元化的未来 STEM 和生物医学劳动力队伍。 WE ENGAGE – 一项非正式的、以公民科学为基础的环境健康体验式学习计划，旨在与面临健康和环境健康挑战的资源匮乏社区建立伙伴关系。目的是积极参与和建设生活在三个相邻的单一集群中的公民的公民科学能力尽管辛辛那提是资源丰富的少数族裔社区，但世代相传的挑战继续困扰着居民已建立的学术界伙伴关系。我们的假设是，课堂之外的社区知情、体验式学习机会结构化的、多代人的和基于故事的将鼓励 a) 积极询问、讨论和回答相关复杂的健康和环境问题，以便个人和社区能够规划行动步骤更好的健康选择和追求更健康的环境，以及 b) 对追求正规的更大兴趣和信心生物医学/STEM 教育和 STEM 职业有三个具体目标：1) 我们将共同创造量身定制的故事- 基于（图画小说风格）STEM 教育材料和社区咨询委员会，并提供非正式的 STEM 向我们的目标社区提供教育和研究培训；2）我们将促进科学探究技能的应用通过社区主导的健康博览会来改善健康，该博览会使用创新的电子健康护照平台来收集数据并通过促进健康公平数据的社区讨论来生成激励性的故事来分享；3）我们将；促进科学技能探究的应用，以培养社区自豪感和促进更健康/更安全的积极性与目标 2 一样，将通过步行环境评估来促进未来的建设环境。基于社区的参与性研究和干预措施。我们成功的关键是讲故事的概念，讲故事是人类体验的基础。讲故事不仅仅是理解世界，而是积极地改变它，它是一种共同的语言。以故事的形式将 STEM 概念结合在一起，增加了它们的吸引力和意义。数据收集为个人提供了发言权，在数据故事中，可以将数百到数百万的声音提炼成一个单一的声音。可以帮助社区成员探究重要的潜在关联并找到根本原因的叙述通过基于地点的、可理解的、激励性的数据故事，社区的集体声音更加清晰，从而可以共同决定并采取相关且可行的行动。从预防慢性病，到培育更健康的环境，再到鼓励 STEM 教育——故事有无限的潜力。
