DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed collaborative community-driven study is motivated by the concern of the Cincinnati school community including administrators, teachers, public health officials and nurses, parents, and others childhood exposure to traffic-related particles at schools. Traffic-related particles have been shown to exacerbate existing asthma in school-age children. It is unknown, however, the concentrations of these pollutants at schools compared to community background levels. Furthermore, anti-idling campaigns have been conducted with limited success and without measures of environmental or health impact. In order to address the community's concerns and the lack of quantitative data, a new partnership has been formed between environmental health researchers at the University of Cincinnati and community-based organizations including the Cincinnati Public Schools and the Cincinnati Health Department. This partnership will build upon the strengths of each organization to collaboratively accomplish three specific aims: 1) determine if children are exposed to increased levels of traffic-related PM at school compared to ambient levels in the communities where the children reside, 2) develop and implement a community-driven anti-idling campaign aimed at reducing children's exposure to traffic-related air pollution during school hours, and 3) evaluate the effectiveness of the research partnership and anti-idling campaign by assessing the reduction of exposure in schools and the impact on the health of children with asthma who attend these schools. The results of this reciprocal research relationship will guide future public health actions in the Cincinnati community and elsewhere, provide training and education for public health nurses, provide children with asthma and their families with objective health data, engage bus drivers in order to reduce idling, and provide a foundation for future collaborative efforts between University of Cincinnati researchers and community partners. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This collaborative community-driven study is motivated by the concern of the Cincinnati school community including administrators, teachers, public health officials, school nurses, and parents regarding childhood exposure to traffic-related particles at school. This partnership between the University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati Health Department, and the Cincinnati Public Schools will build upon the strengths of each organization to collaboratively determine if children are exposed to increased levels of traffic-related PM at school compared to ambient levels in the communities where the children reside. In addition, a community-driven anti-idling campaign will be developed and implemented with the goal of reducing children's exposure to traffic-related air pollution during school hours. Finally, the effectiveness of the research partnership and anti-idling campaign will be evaluated by assessing the reduction of exposure at schools and the impact on the health of children with asthma.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议的协作社区驱动的研究是由辛辛那提学校社区的关注所激发的，包括管理人员，教师，公共卫生官员和护士，父母以及其他童年的童年在学校接触与交通相关的颗粒。已显示与交通相关的颗粒会加剧学龄儿童中现有的哮喘。但是，与社区背景水平相比，这些污染物在学校的浓度尚不清楚。此外，已经开展了反学运动的成功，并且没有环境或健康影响的措施。为了解决社区的关注和缺乏定量数据，辛辛那提大学环境卫生研究人员与包括辛辛那提公立学校和辛辛那提卫生系在内的社区组织之间建立了新的伙伴关系。这种伙伴关系将基于每个组织的协作实现三个具体目标的优势：1）确定儿童是否会增加学校与交通相关的PM水平的增加，而与儿童居住的社区相比，与周围的环境水平相比，开发和实施社区驱动的反学活动，旨在通过降低儿童在学校中的污染和3的活动，并评估有效的空中污染，并评估3.型号的效率和3），该活动的有效性和3）是有效的，该活动的效率为3）。学校的暴露量减少以及对上学哮喘儿童健康的影响。这种互惠研究关系的结果将指导辛辛那提社区和其他地方的未来公共卫生行动，为公共卫生护士提供培训和教育，为儿童提供哮喘及其家人提供客观的健康数据，吸引公交车司机以减少闲聊，并为辛辛那提大学研究人员和社区伙伴之间的未来合作努力提供基础。 公共卫生相关性：这项协作性社区驱动的研究是由辛辛那提学校社区的关注所激发的，包括管理人员，教师，公共卫生官员，学校护士和父母，涉及儿童期在学校接触与交通相关的粒子。辛辛那提大学，辛辛那提卫生系和辛辛那提公立学校之间的这种伙伴关系将基于每个组织的优势，以协作确定与儿童居住的社区相比，与学校的交通相关PM的水平是否增加。此外，将开发和实施以社区为导向的反学活动，目的是减少儿童在上课期间暴露于交通相关的空气污染。最后，将通过评估学校的曝光率减少以及对哮喘儿童健康的影响来评估研究伙伴关系和反学运动的有效性。
