| Communities currently utilize a diversity of strategies to address environmental health issues. In this session, various community-based action strategies to address environmental health crises in Refinery communities will be discussed. In addition, community-based efforts to track monitoring and health outcome data will be presented. This session will also introduce participants to a community outreach & education program that translates basic research in environmental toxicology into useful information for communities affected by toxic exposures. The Louisiana Bucket Brigade�s design of a low cost Community Designed Health Symptom Survey to help communities gather data about their health will also be presented. Finally, highlights of the Global Community Monitor�s efforts in working with disempowered "fenceline" communities harmed by serious pollution from industrial sources will be discussed. | |||
| Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of the session, the participant will be able to: 1) Describe community-based action strategies to build and grow solutions to environmental health crisis in Refinery/Chemical communities; 2) Discuss how environmental monitoring conducted by impacted communities alters the public health debate; 3) Discuss how community-based tracking of environmental health data can aid in identifying problems and solutions; 4) Identify the steps necessary to include the affected community in health symptom survey design; 5) Demonstrate uses of Augusto Boal�s Image and Forum Theater for teaching toxicological concepts and risk assessment. | |||
