| This session will highlight strategies being used in four environmental justice projects working with communities to reduce environmental exposures in the home that have adverse health outcomes. Since 1993 the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences has supported collaborative projects that bring together community residents, researchers and health care providers to address an array of environmental health issues, including exposures within the home. These projects place a great emphasis on communication strategies to build capacity within the community to be active participants in the research process, and to help researchers better understand environmental health concerns of community residents so that research questions and interventions are appropriate. In this session, the presenters will discuss the strategies they have employed to address environmental exposures in the home. They will highlight the value of the partnerships and the impacts they have had for the residents and their health. | |||
| Learning Objectives: During this symposium, participants will learn about: (a) The NIEHS Environmental Justice Program (b) Strategies used to reduce the risk of potentially harmful environmental exposures in the home (c) The importance of community-university-provider partnerships to improve environmental public health through education, capacity building, and research. | |||
