项目摘要

ABSTRACT The Community Engagement Core (CEC) supports the theme of the UNC Center for Environmental Health and Susceptibility (CEHS), translating interdisciplinary research on environmental health susceptibility to improve public health in North Carolina. The work of the Community Engagement Core (CEC) in the UNC- Chapel Hill Center for Environmental Health and Susceptibility (CEHS) is grounded in the Center's research foci, and the CEC's reach extends broadly across the state and deeply into North Carolina's communities of public health and education professionals. The CEC prioritizes partnering with public health professionals and educators who engage our state's most vulnerable populations, such as minority and low-income populations, because these populations tend to be more at-risk of the adverse health outcomes being studied in CEHS and tend to have more serious health outcomes. The goal of the CEC is to enhance public understanding of environmental health sciences research and foster environmental health literacy among public health professionals and secondary science and health teachers, raising awareness of environmental health issues and facilitating informed decision making that reduces harmful environmental exposures in homes and communities. We accomplish this goal through four aims: (1) To foster dialogue among CEHS members and community partners to inform development of environmental health sciences research that is responsive to community concerns; (2) To enhance the capacity of public health practitioners to engage vulnerable populations and other residents on locally relevant environmental health issues using a train-the-trainer approach; (3) To enhance the capacity of secondary science and health educators to engage adolescents in meaningful and socially contextualized education by facilitating incorporation of cutting-edge research into instruction; and (4) To facilitate development of science communication skills among CEHS investigators and trainees. The CEC is a vital element of the CEHS as it connects CEHS investigators with community partners, facilitating multidirectional communication and ensuring broad relevance to the State, both of which are critical to meeting the translational goals of the CEHS.

抽象的社区参与核心（CEC）支持UNC环境健康中心的主题易感性（CEHS），将环境健康易感性的跨学科研究转化为改善北卡罗来纳州的公共卫生。社区参与核心（CEC）在UNC中的工作教堂山环境健康与易感性中心（CEHS）基于该中心的研究重点， CEC的覆盖范围广泛遍及整个州，深入到北卡罗来纳州的公众社区健康和教育专业人员。 CEC优先考虑与公共卫生专业人员合作参与我们州最脆弱人群的教育者，例如少数群体和低收入人群因为这些人群往往是在CEHS和往往会有更严重的健康结果。 CEC的目的是增强公众对环境健康科学研究和促进公共卫生之间的环境健康素养专业人士和中学科学和健康教师，提高了对环境健康问题的认识并促进明智的决策，以减少房屋中的有害环境暴露社区。我们通过四个目标实现了这一目标：（1）在CEHS成员之间促进对话社区合作伙伴为环境健康科学研究的发展提供了响应社区关注；（2）增强公共卫生从业人员参与脆弱人群的能力以及其他使用火车训练的方法在本地相关的环境健康问题上的居民；（3）到增强中学科学和健康教育者的能力，使青少年参与有意义的和通过促进将尖端研究纳入教学的社会背景化教育；（4）促进CEHS调查人员和学员之间科学沟通技巧的发展。 CEC是 CEHS将CEHS调查人员与社区合作伙伴联系起来，促进CEHS的重要元素多向沟通并确保与国家的广泛相关性，这两个对国家至关重要实现CEHS的翻译目标。
