Those who bear the greatest environmental burdens often have the least access to information, and explanations for engaging communities to develop solutions are lacking. We describe, and use a case study to depict, a participatory process of urban academic and community members to co-produce educational and communication tools. Over five years, we interfaced with 763 individuals at eleven events and three times that (n=2,273) through attendees' networks at 109 small group events using snowball methods. The resulting communication tools, paired resources, and mobile dissemination were responsive to residents' circumstances and enhanced their ability to access health protecting information and resources.
那些承受最大环境负担的人往往获取信息的机会最少,而且缺乏让社区参与制定解决方案的解释。我们描述并通过一个案例研究来描绘城市学术界和社区成员共同制作教育和传播工具的参与过程。在五年时间里,我们在11次活动中与763人进行了交流,并通过滚雪球方法在109次小组活动中通过参与者的网络与三倍于此数量(n = 2273)的人进行了交流。由此产生的传播工具、配套资源和移动传播方式符合居民的情况,增强了他们获取健康保护信息和资源的能力。
