ABSTRACT Household waste burning, especially of plastics, is a major, but unaddressed environmental and health hazard in low resource countries that lack a waste management infrastructure to properly dispose of waste. In rural Guatemala, 95% of households use solid fuels for cooking and 71% burn waste as the primary means of disposal. Plastic waste is burned in solid fuel (e.g., wood) cookstoves and in outdoor fires as a means of disposal. ECOLECTIVOS is a cluster randomized trial using implementation research to develop and evaluate community-level working groups that aim to reduce household burning of plastic waste. With this administrative supplement we will select up to three environmental health community workers (promotoras) per village from among the women who participate in the 12-week community working group sessions in 8 intervention villages. We will use the Behavior Change Wheel and RE-AIM, two implementation science frameworks to assess opportunities, capabilities and motivations that determine behaviors, as well as the reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation fidelity, maintenance, and sustainability of community-driven interventions. In Aim 1, the promotoras will be trained to administer short checklist surveys to the 25 women in their village who participate in the working groups and who continue to implement the intervention selected by the village (e.g., community recycling) to assess domains of COM-B and RE-AIM. The promotoras will communicate with ECOLECTIVOS research staff about implementation bottlenecks (e.g., recycling truck didn’t arrive) and successes (e.g., number of villagers engaged successfully in recycling). In Aim 2, the promotoras will help project staff design and implement “intervention fairs” to be rolled out in 8 control villages. These fairs will be structured to promote the uptake and adoption of intervention activities in nearby control villages. The project is relevant to the NIEHS mission because it fosters collaboration between research and community groups in the conduct of community-engaged research that aims to improve household and ambient air quality. Our findings will be incorporated into community-driven public health actions with policymakers to develop programs in other local contexts.

抽象的 家庭垃圾焚烧，尤其是塑料垃圾焚烧，是一个重大但尚未解决的环境和健康危害 在资源匮乏的国家，缺乏废物管理基础设施来妥善处理农村废物。 危地马拉，95% 的家庭使用固体燃料做饭，71% 的家庭以燃烧废物为主要手段 塑料废物在固体燃料（例如木材）炉灶和户外火中燃烧，作为一种处理方式。 ECOLECTIVOS 是一项利用实施研究来开发和评估的整群随机试验。 旨在减少家庭塑料废物燃烧的社区级工作组。 作为补充，我们将从每个村庄中选出最多三名环境卫生社区工作人员（promotoras） 在 8 个干预村参加为期 12 周的社区工作组会议的妇女中。 我们将使用行为改变轮和 RE-AIM 这两个实施科学框架来评估 决定行为的机会、能力和动机，以及影响范围、有效性、 社区驱动干预措施的采用、实施保真度、维护和可持续性 在目标 1 中， 推广员将接受培训，对村里 25 名妇女进行简短的清单调查，这些妇女 参加工作组并继续实施村庄选择的干预措施（例如， 社区回收）来评估 COM-B 和 RE-AIM 的领域 发起人将与之沟通。 ECOLECTIVOS 研究人员了解实施瓶颈（例如，回收卡车未到达）以及 成功（例如，成功参与回收的村民数量）。在目标 2 中，发起人将帮助项目。 工作人员设计并实施将在 8 个控制村开展的“干预博览会”。 促进附近控制村采取和采用干预活动。 NIEHS 的使命，因为它促进研究和社区团体之间的合作 我们的研究结果将是旨在改善家庭和环境空气质量的社区参与研究。 与政策制定者一起纳入社区驱动的公共卫生行动，以在其他地方制定计划 上下文。
