Objective 1: Partner with Communities Using the Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) Framework. Work with educators, parents, and local leaders to identify environmental and social stressors, using the CBPR framework to guide planning and decisions based on community input and existing datasets.
Objective 2: Deliver Community- & Data-Driven Interventions Using the CDC Hierarchy of Controls Framework. Implement cost-effective and low-maintain interventions that aim to reduce harmful exposures, and evaluate them by looking at children’s health indicators.
Objective 3: Conduct Cumulative Risk Assessment (CRA) Using the EPA & WHO Framework. Collect detailed environmental and survey data to evaluate the cumulative impacts of chemical and non-chemical exposures.
Objective 4: Link Exposure to Health Impact Using the Exposure-to-Outcome (EOC) Framework. Use advanced modeling and lab analysis to connect children’s exposure levels to dose and then with internal biological following the EOC.
Objective 5: Share Tools and Findings Using the Community Engaged Research Dissemination (CERD) Framework. Develop and share easy-to-use toolkits and materials, based on the CERD framework, to help communities, educators, and decision-makers reduce modifiable health risk factors and improve children’s long-term health.
